Empty (Mamba Band)

(chant) i am oooo i am i am oooo i a i am oooo i am i am i am i am Verse 1 cant forget how the church bells ring, What could i do Hands in my pockets, watching your tears stream. Two chairs empty by the kitchen light, pictures on the fridge, but they’re gone tonight. dishes made but not from mom Grandma held tight when the darkness falls I mouth “I am here” to the pillow seam, Beg the morning to make this a dream. Pre-Chorus Two little words with a sky behind, Hold my hand hold my hand through time I am—i am a tiny flame, Searching a room for a place to name. Chorus I am breathing, but I’m not alright, Im not leavin, but I lost my light. If “I AM” is Your name beyond clocks and weather, Hold me together when I can’t hold together. I am—and then it fades away I am empty i am empty i am empty Verse 2 — Adult Badge on my shirt, keys on a ring, these weekends blur into one long string. I text “I’m fine,” but you dont listen Wear a long face, you never liked him We shared a life out of calendar squares, but now i know you never did care I mouth “I am here” to the pillow seam, Beg the morning to make this a dream. Pre-Chorus Two little words pulled tight and thin, Before and after stitched at the brim. I and am—a bridge mid-span, Shaking like glass in a trembling hand. Chorus I am breathing, but I’m not alright, Im not leavin, but I lost my light. If “I AM” is Your name beyond clocks and weather, Hold me together when I can’t hold together. I am—and then it fades away I am empty i am empty i am empty Verse 3 — Old Man Porch step groans at the edge of dawn, Kettle sings, night almost gone. Hands remember what names forget, Photographs dance in between regrets I whisper “I am still,” to the waking air, Count my breaths like a simple prayer. I mouth “I am here” to the pillow seam, Beg the morning to make this a dream. Final Chorus (soft → swell) I am breathing, but I’m not alright, Im not leavin, but I lost my light. If “I AM” is Your name beyond clocks and weather, Hold me together when I can’t hold together. I am—and then it fades away I am empty Outro (whisper) (outro) (chant) i am oooo i am i am oooo i am i am oooo i am i am i am i am empty
