song lyrics? (The Emptiness)



I spit fragments of my soul
Let them loose into ether
Hoping somewhere they might resonate
With someone else who is hurting
I’m not unique and I’m not profound
Just another battered survivor
Trying hard to find solid ground
It isn’t easy this road we’re on
And we’re made harder by the traveling
Trying so much harder to hold on
Where is the bliss we were promised
Where’s the chance to rest our heads
Where’s the moment when it’s OK and it’s alright
And we get to laugh instead
Of crying for the lost ones
Crying for the fear still inside
Crying for the broken and the busted and the empty
Emptiness inside
I’ve been at this a long time
I know that you have too
We’ve all been at this a long time
You and you and me and you
And it makes me so angry
I know you feel it too
Somehow we’ve been cheated
Out of something we thought we were due
Where is the bliss we were promised
Where’s the chance to rest our heads
Where’s the moment when it’s OK and it’s alright
And we get to laugh instead
Of crying for the lost ones
Crying for the fear still inside
Crying for the broken and the busted and the empty
Emptiness inside
Fires burn in my vision
Fires burn at my feet
Fires burn all the bridges
While they caper off with gasoline and glee
It’s not good and it’s not right
Though I sometimes lose the urge to fight
Take my hand and maybe together
We can set the barricades alight
And find the bliss we were promised
Claim the chance to rest our heads
Find a moment when it’s OK and it’s alright
And we’ll laugh and laugh instead
Of crying for the lost ones
Crying for the fear still inside
Build a castle for the broken and the busted and the frightened
And fill
Fill the emptiness inside
