Empty Shell

[Verse 1] Filth in my eye I turn and it spills on you All that I hate in myself Looks better in your view You wear my worst Like a jacket I outgrew Smile with my broken teeth As if they belonged to you [Chorus] You’re loving the empty shell of who I was Shaking all the rust Calling it gold Calling it love You kiss every crack like it proves I’m enough But you’re holding the empty shell of who I was [Verse 2] I blur at the edges You frame me Swear I’m clear You trace my old outlines Pretend that I’m still here You praise the ashes Say the smoke smells sweet I said I was hollow You heard “come and complete” [Chorus] You’re loving the empty shell of who I was Shaking all the rust Calling it gold Calling it love You dance with a ghost You don’t ask what it does You’re holding the empty shell of who I was [Bridge] If I scrape these colors off Will you even know my face? (hey) If I finally fall apart Will you miss me or the shape? [Chorus] You’re loving the empty shell of who I was Shaking all the rust Calling it gold Calling it love You cling to the frame as the picture gives up Still holding the empty shell of who I was
