lyrics

(three, four)

cold face, eyes closed
you're a little under the weather
but i'm not doing much better

but we've got nothing else to do
keeping us warm but not much is new
falling asleep while we're taking our route

and i know, i know, i know
how you're feeling deep inside
across the seas, the oceans
how you think it's by design

the echoes of the chambers
pulsing blood between the veins
but you make a conversation all the same

have you ever felt empty?
have you ever been a slave
to the things inside your brain
that's supposed to keep you sane
but you just wanna be set free?

have you ever taken ecstasy
just to feel something good?
would you do it if you could
regardless if you should
if it made you feel less empty?

cuz maybe i would
yeah maybe i would
if it made me feel
less empty
less empty
less empty

sunset so soon
and here you are reaching a fever
but i'm not doing much better

still we've got nothing else to do
keeping our cool but not much is new
falling asleep while we're taking our route

and i know, i know, i know
how you're feeling deep inside
across the stars, the darkness
oh, the gods and their designs

the echoes of our chambers
proving love is in our veins
but we're still just counting numbers all the same

have you ever felt empty?
have you ever been a slave
to the things inside your brain
that's supposed to keep you sane
but you just wanna be set free?

have you ever taken ecstasy
just to feel something good?
would you do it if you could
regardless if you should
if it made you feel less empty?

cuz maybe i would
yeah maybe i would
if it made me feel
less empty

waking in my bed
feeling almost dead
had enough of aching
had enough of faking

everybody needs to know it now
everybody, come on, gather 'round
everybody, come and hear me out
is anybody listening?

know without a doubt
i'm not gonna shout
but i've kept it to myself too long
i'm being strong but

it's too bad that the way things are
there isn't anyone to blame but me
the victim of my deepest scar
it isn't much to say but

i don't wanna be empty anymore
i don't wanna be empty anymore
cuz i'm always by myself
even when i'm with someone else
and i know that i can't take it anymore

i don't wanna feel left out anymore
i just wanna feel alive more and more
i'm taking photos of myself
leaving reminders on my shelf
trying anything to feel better for a score

cuz i don't wanna be empty anymore, no
i don't wanna be empty anymore
i don't wanna be empty anymore, no
i don't wanna be empty anymore
oh, no
