Empty Promise

(album: Happiness, Guaranteed. - 2022)

Gold light upon my face
Encased by grace and chemicals
Won't lie it's been a while since I was honest
45 and the sunsets slow
You climb upon my collarbone
False fires and compromise with no direction

The pages burn
The tables turn
And I'm starting over, will I learn?
I paid the cost
I held my loss
And I kept on running just to stop from coming undone

But I'm not made of stone
I am just skin and bone
And it's time I'm honest
I'm waiting on an empty promise
But I'm not made of stone
I am just skin and bone
And it's time I'm honest
I'm waiting on an empty promise

Hold high what I do not know
And place myself in centerfold
Stoned bright and sinking like a cannonball
Watered eyes and dominos
I tried to fit inside your mould
Crystalised, better on my own

The pages burn
The tables turn
And I'm starting over, will I learn?
I paid the cost
I held my loss
And I kept on running just to stop from coming undone

But I'm not made of stone
I am just skin and bone
And it's time I'm honest
I'm waiting on an empty promise
But I'm not made of stone
I am just skin and bone
And it's time I'm honest
I'm waiting on an empty promise
