Chain Reaction

We stare at empty ceilings because we can’t bare to look at the pictures That are full of empty smiles because they know that is what’s expected The empty people that wear them are all searching for the same thing But end up finding the same empty souls to cling on to So begins the empty love affair that pacifies their superficial hearts As they spend empty years wondering why they aren’t whole They accept this and begin the rest of their empty lives And thus begins the never ending empty cycle Because we accept the emptiness we think we deserve We output empty love and in return expect to find something that makes us whole But I’m here to tell you that the emptiness you put out is what you get back So maybe I’ll try to be whole and I’ll receive whole love back
