Empty Nest

(albüm: Nobody Likes A Quitter - 2016)

My mouth is full of sand
Dark dirt and teeth hiding words like "I can't sleep"
Like "I don't believe"
Could be a bitter bastard child
Skinned knees and blue jeans
Telling lies like "I'm alright"
Squeeze its skin and hold it tight

All the patient parts of me
All that angry following
All the latest starts, every body part
That moves to make this run
Because the other parts will sink
Don't believe till you've lost your faith
See nothing works until you find rebirth
You've got to feed that empty nest
That empty nest

My head was full of plans
Old maps and blueprints
Tying ties and cutting tape
Breaking ground I'm way too late
I know you tell me all the time
There's fear in waiting and binding words like
"There's no fate, it's all been faked"

All the patient parts of me
All that angry following
All the latest starts, every body part
That moves to make this run
Because the other parts will sink
Don't believe till you've lost your faith
See nothing works until you find rebirth
You've got to feed that empty nest
Empty nest

All the patient parts of me
All that angry following
All the latest starts, every body part
That moves to make this run
Because the other parts will sink
Don't believe till you've lost your faith
See nothing works until you find rebirth
You've got to feed that empty nest

All the patient parts of me
All that angry following
All the latest starts, every body part
That moves to make this run
Because the other parts will sink
Don't believe till you've lost your faith
See nothing works until you find rebirth
You've got to feed that empty
