Empty
(专辑: Till The Sun Turns Black - 2006)
She lifts her skirt up to her knees Walks through the
garden rows with her bare feet, laughing And I
never learned to count my blessings I
choose instead to dwell in my disasters Walk on down the
hill Through grass grown tall and brown And still it's hard somehow to let go of my pain On past the
busted back of that old and rusted Cadillac That sinks into this field collecting rain Will I
always feel this way ‒ So empty, so estranged? And of these cut-throat busted sunsets, these cold and damp white mornings I
have grown weary If through my cracked and dusted dime-store lips I
spoke these words out loud would no one hear me? Lay your blouse across the
chair, Let fall the
flowers from your hair And kiss me with that country mouth so plain. Outside the
rain is tapping on the
leaves To me it sounds like they're applauding us, The
quiet love we've made. Will I
always feel this way So empty, so estranged? Well, I
looked my demons in the
eyes laid bare my chest, said "Do your best, destroy me. You see, I've been to hell and back so many times, I
must admit you kind of bore me." There's a
lot of things that can kill a
man There's a
lot of ways to die Yes, and some already dead that walk beside me There's a
lot of things I
don't understand Why so many people lie Well, it's the
hurt I
hide that fuels the
fires inside me Will I
always feel this way So empty, so estranged?
