Empty

[Verse 1 - Fragile, breaking] I held the world once in these palms Now they’re empty, cold and calm The photographs have turned to dust The promises… just rust [Verse 2 - Voice cracking] I built a home with borrowed time Called it mine, called it mine But the walls came down like paper thin Now I’m living in the wind [Pre-Chorus - Barely holding on] I gave everything I had to give Forgot what it means to live Now there’s nothing… nothing left of me Just the ghost of who I used to be [Chorus - Devastating, sobbing through words] These empty hands They used to hold the sun These empty hands They can’t hold anyone I lost it all, every single thing Now silence is the only song I sing These empty hands… God, these empty hands [Verse 3 - Defeated whisper] I see your face in strangers’ eyes Hear your voice in lullabies But you’re gone and I’m still here Drowning slow, year by year [Bridge - Breaking completely] I don’t know how to feel anymore I don’t know what I’m breathing for The emptiness is all I know I can’t let go… I can’t let go… (Building, drums intensify) But there’s nothing left to hold Nothing left… I’m so cold [Final Chorus - Raw, guttural emotion] These empty hands They used to hold the sun These empty hands They can’t save anyone I lost it all, everything I’ve known Now I’m just a man made of stone These empty hands… These goddamn empty hands [Outro - Broken, barely audible] I had it all… I had it all… Now I’m nothing… nothing at all Just a man with empty hands Empty hands…
