Empty

lyrics

"empty"

headlights roll along rain wet streets ten-thirty-five western avenue the golden curtain is never pulled aside

cat curls up on a shabby couch we have chains instead of shelves draw our signals on cinderblock halls trace our outlines on hollow walls

now you hear it now you don't here it is there it was wherever it takes you you'll bear it empty

a melodica from five feet down we're snake charmers brought you from behind the bar to dance to lay down the aftermath

we forego the crummy weather a golden state keeps up together winter dies in the open door three filmstrip pictures lie on the filthy floor our faces making faces

now you hear it now you don't here it is there it was wherever it takes me i'll share it empty

we laid our table in ink no speaking you eat so neatly and so thoroughly you might've married it and prayed for it and buried it

now you hear it now you don't here it is there it was wherever it takes you you'll bear it empty i won't stop to look if you fight it fight to deny it full on empty bottles you're breaking pull away and look for the green room look til you're full and you don't know what you could do do it at last pull it up take it fast til you open a door til you pull back the curtain and laugh til you cry and sing til you die this is it this is it this is it this is worthless indeed it's worthless indeed it's worthlessness health and beauty and billie list the stars til you collapse and laugh til you cry and sing til you fly into tremors and plates move the earth spins you still lose you fall as you climb you rift as you rhyme is this it is this all the work you did is this it is it the right thing to do do you the end makes noises do you makes choices do you feel empty do you repent it i do i do i do
