The colours run away as the sun fades the day I find it so hard to find the right words to say I know that when I have to leave and close it all down I′m losing everything that you have made me
Let it all just fade away like leave from green to grey Defeat the impossible finish this war with enemies And how I love your smile in my aching heart But why does everything I touch become so sharp
Let the sea roll over me and wash me away Let me slide deep beneath this crushing blue The light in the night and the stars on your face You are everything that surrounds me in this place
I am the hollowness the empty bottle at the end I am the falling part playing at pretend I want that feeling back deep inside my heart
Lay down these feelings push them all aside Crawl out into the light my love I cannot hide Searching for togetherness on the other side A thousand bullet holes this love cannot die
For I am the hollowness the empty bottle at the end I am the falling part playing at pretend I want that feeling back deep inside my heart
I haven′t lost anything except my mind Expect a thousand confessions that you will not find I can try to take off my head sometimes because I can′t escape the memories I haven′t lost anything except my mind
You could be empty and I can be right here empty with you or You can be hollow and I can be right here hollow with you If you want to say goodbye to everything I could say goodbye too I can be right here empty with you
I haven′t wasted anything except my time Forget the treasures we burned because we′ll be just fine I try to take off my head sometimes because I can′t escape for the life in me I haven′t lost anything except my mind
You could be empty and I can be right here empty with you or You can be hollow and I can be right here hollow with you If you want to say goodbye to everything I could say goodbye too I can be right here empty with you
Instead of going under ground Instead of calling them out Instead of running because your still Instead of swallowing lies instead of being buried alive Lets chase this knife down I can′t stop bleeding If you need a confession I′m guilty Lets chase this knife down I can′t stop bleeding and If you think I feel sorry You′re with me
You could be empty and I can be right here empty with you or You can be hollow and I can be right here hollow with you If you want to say goodbye to everything I could say goodbye too I can be right here empty with you
These are the words but not the truth God bless them all when they speak to you But that′s alright On an empty stage Sing out when There′s no other way
Come drift the town where secrets lie Where friends and neighbours keep drifting by But that′s alright You′re here to stay Sing out tonight The empty page
I always thought I′d see Your name in flashing light You did it all for free, girl And freely ripped the night You′re free to fight
These are the words but not the truth God bless them all when they speak to you But that′s alright You′re here to stay Sing out tonight The empty page
Do you remember the time When you were new in town You smashed your head in the mirror, baby And kissed the frozen ground Yr ripped up sound
The empty page has wasted down The empty page is ripped The empty page will waste this town
The charade is over now Still you′re trying to hide it somehow Am I wrong when I say a piece is missing? Inside is screaming you stay quiet No one is listening You′re picking up a shell No one will ever tell The difference and so the indifference will come
You can′t climb out of your empty box alone
Grab your hair but you can′t lift yourself up Still you′re telling me to shut up Don′t you get fed up with your own pride? Realize we′re on the same side You are not the first one Who lost track of the sun You can′t see that now I know
Don′t want to sound superior but even though I know this is not a cave can′t you see the light I′ll walk beside you tonight
As stiff as toys And tall as men And swaying like the wind torn trees She talked about the empty world With eyes like poison birds She talked about the armies That marched inside her head And how they made her dreams go bad But oh how happy she was How proud she was To be fighting in the war In the empty world
too late to hide and too tired to care take what you′ve left and forget the rest take what you see of what′s left of me you know where I′ve been and I don′t want to go there again
you′re beautiful you′re confusing you′re illogical you′re amazing and I′ve seen the world it′s overrated until you′re everything I have nothing but empty space
I′ve been down this road before all that I′ve found points me right back to you and I′ve watched you move from down below where do I go from here I guess I′ll find out as I go
you′re beautiful you′re confusing you′re illogical you′re amazing and I′ve seen the world it′s overrated until you′re everything I have nothing but empty space
you′re beautiful you′re confusing you′re illogical you′re amazing and I′ve seen the world it′s overrated until you′re everything I have nothing until you′re everything I have nothing but an empty space
Must welcome these memories As shallow as my eyes have slowly become
Hearts, frail heart left broken Cold and known for its bitter agony
Here are the memories As empty as my life has slowly become Sting, crush and bite in my soul, my heart bleeds
Times changed forever that night Leaving only empty memories Empty memories won′t heal the pain
We know only sorrow There′s no future in tomorrow All our hopes were buried to young For the years that should have followed
We know only hatred There′s no future in our anguish For our hope was buried with life And reprisal will be ours
It′s empty We′re empty They′re empty memories
Here, here in this heart Cold as stone For no feelings there to warm It is as empty as our dreams and hopes Now our future is gone It stings and bites in my soul, my heart bleeds
Times changed forever that night Leaving only empty memories Time once changed forever that night Leaving me... No, no, no Above with empty memories Empty memories Empty memories
I′ve watched them build Upon these empty hearts False hopes of lossless paradise Gathering together
The dead hearts beat as one Stillborn comfort feeding lies Through answers of self denial Divided between a dissolute self And the sorrow of sincere devotion Devotion
What is it that you find peace in now? Where is your hope in this dark night?
What is it that you find peace in now? Where is your hope in this dark night?
i′m not afraid to go backwards fix what we broke My gaze falls behind, you make desire seem so easy I hold off sleep, it′s so silent without you here Don′t give up now, it would all be for nothing
′cause i believe in second chances I believe the years forget
So let me fill these empty spaces Better late than never / stay forever Let me fill this empty space ′cause there′s always room for one more mistake
Can you feel that I think we′re moving in the right direction I was someone else then I′d take it back if you would let me
′cause i believe in second chances I believe the years forget
So let me fill these empty spaces Better late than never / stay forever Let me fill this empty space ′cause there′s always room for one more mistake
We were never this close when we were young Every night i whisper your name at the top of my lungs
-solo-
I I
Let me fill these empty spaces Better late than never / stay forever Let me fill this empty space ′cause there′s always room for one more mistake
Burn it down till the embers smoke on the ground And start new when your heart is an empty room With walls of the deepest blue
Fall fades how it ages when you′re away Spring blooms and you find the love that′s true But you don′t know what now to do Cause the chase is all you know And she stopped running months ago
And all you see is where else you could be When you′re at home out on the street Are so many possibilities to not be alone
The flames and smoke climbed out of every window And disappeared with everything that you held dear And you shed not a single tear for the things that you didn′t need Cause you knew you were finally free
Cause all you see is where else you could be When you′re at home out on the street Are so many possibilities to not be alone
And all you see is where else you could be When you′re at home there on the street Are so many possibilities to not be alone
Call me out You stayed inside One you love is where you hide Shot me down as I flew by Crash and burn I think sometimes you forget where the heart is
Answer no to these questions Let her go Learn a lesson It′s not me You′re not listening now Can′t you see something′s missing You forget where the heart is
Take you away from that empty apartment You stay and forget where the heart is Someday If ever you love me you′d say it′s okay
Waking up from this nightmare How′s your life What′s it like there Is it all what you want it to be Does it hurt when you think about me and how broken my heart is
Take you away from that empty apartment You stay and forget where the heart is Someday If ever you love me you′d say it′s okay
It′s okay to be angry and never let go It only gets harder The more that you know
When you get lonely If no one′s around you know that I′ll catch you when you′re falling down
We came together but you left alone And I know how it feels to walk out on your own
Maybe someday I will see you again And you′ll look me in my eyes and call me your friend
Take you away from that empty apartment You stay and forget where the heart is Someday If ever you love me you′d say its okay It′s okay It′s okay
The ends don′t always justify the means, But I know what it takes to get what I need. I′ve got the cure when passive protest just wont do. Just flick my bic as I hold it to the fuse. Smash it up. break it down. Bring it down, down to the ground. Tear it up. burn it down. Burn it down, down to the ground. How long have we waited for the day when they tighten their grips and we slip away? The sound of breaking glass drives me back up. It makes me whole when I′ve been down on my luck.
Look in my eyes, shocked with terror. Paralize ′n′, pull me over. I′m so dumb, and your so clever. Scrutinize, my best endeavour. Come the day, when I will leave, at my Pride. You will be.
Chorus: Empty skies but a butterflies wings beat silent like air call us free by a promise torn, you said ill meet you there Empty skies but a butterflies wings beat silent like air call us free by a promise torn, you said ill meet you there meet you there, you know I′m there.
I left the sun in Africa to be with you, to fly cross the oceans licking flame every movement speaks your name. come the day when I will leave at my Pride you will be
Your empty walls... Your empty walls... Pretentious attention Dismissive aprehension Don′t waste your time, on coffins today When we decline, from the confines of our mind Don′t waste your time, on coffins today
Don′t you see their bodies burning? Desolate and full of yearning Dying of anticipation Choking from intoxication
Don′t you see their bodies burning? Desolate and full of yearning Dying of anticipation Choking from intoxication
I want you To be Left behind those empty walls Told you To see From behind those empty walls
Those empty walls When we decline, from the confines of our mind Don′t waste your time, on coffins today
Don′t you see their bodies burning? Desolate and full of yearning Dying of anticipation Choking from intoxication
Don′t you see their bodies burning? Desolate and full of yearning Dying of anticipation Choking from intoxication
I want you To be Left behind those empty walls Told you To see From behind those empty walls Want you to be Left behind those empty walls I told you To see From behind those empty walls
From behind those empty walls From behind those empty walls The walls From behind those empty walls
I loved you, yes Though they be For you killed my family
Don′t you see their bodies burning? Desolate and full of yearning Dying of anticipation Choking from intoxication
Don′t you see their bodies burning? Desolate and full of yearning Dying of anticipation Choking from intoxication
I want you To be Left behind those empty walls Told you To see From behind those empty walls Want you to be, left behind those empty walls Told you To see From behind those empty walls From behind those empty walls From behind those empty walls From behind those empty walls Those walls... Those walls...
A blank sheet of paper is just begging to be filled But tonight I cannot pour my heart out Because you escaped with it in your back pocket Because you escaped with it in your back pocket
Television remote controls cannot save me From destroying myself Under these scented quilts The absence of your lower case screams Punching out your fragile pleas
Tonight I feel helpless Tonight I feel scared (x2)
WHOA tonight, yes my ears are in pain
A blank sheet of paper is just begging to be filled But tonight I cannot pour my heart out Because you escaped with it in your back pocket Because you escaped with it in your back pocket
Television remote controls cannot save me From destroying myself Under these scented quilts The absence of your lower case screams Punching out your fragile pleas
Tonight I feel helpless Tonight I feel scared (x2)
WHOA tonight, yes my ears are in pain
Come now and leave with me This place is almost empty (x4)
