lyrics

- Emptiness -

What is it that you want to be
Tell me who you are
What is it you’re afraid of
Now that we’ve come this far?
I think that it matters
Not to me but to you
Just make sure to find out one day
Make sure that you do

And when all things else fail you
Remember my words
Find out all the answers
Trust me
I know that hurts

What if it was all worthless
Nought but lies and conceit
What else is there to cling to
When you suffer defeat

Time slowly ticks away
Whilst souls will fade to grey
And all hope must yield to sorrow spawned
At the dawn of each new day

Is man no more than this
Go touch the emptiness
Emptiness

What will you turn to
When despair falls gently like the rain

With a mouth full of dust
Screaming your own name
With a limp hand you thrust
A dagger home for shame
Emptiness

With a mouth full of dust
Mumbling your own name
By the soothing hands of time
It soon feels all the same

Time slowly ticks away
Whilst souls will fade to grey
And all hope must yield to emptiness
At the dawn of each new day

If this is what’s essentially you
Does it fulfill you at all
And what is it you’re afraid of
Now that it’s come this far?
I think that it matters
What ever you do
Just make sure to find out one day
Make sure that you do
