Empty Words

Moving along in the heat That has defined my life I don’t believe I’m done Cut my throat beside my empty words I saw your face deep inside a thought Reminds me of the battles we once fought And the lesson that I had been taught That I still try to pretend isn’t there But it seems as though it’s almost been a century A hundred years since I’ve married the thief But it could not matter much to me Since my prayers traveled on hot dead air Moving along in the heat That has defined these wars There’s just no way I’m done Spill my blood to wash these empty words I’m only brave when you’re far away To fantasize about my way But I see it coming, I can see the day Where I can walk without my fear of you If you came running, I can’t say what I’d do To take you back or stay away from you I know I gave my firsts to you But I’ve got my pride to help me through Moving along in this heat That will define my past I can’t say when I’ll be done Take my life to birth these empty words Take my hand, it’s gonna be a rough ride Through passion, and all the things you made me hide My brain is twisting and my sight is clearing And my memory’s dimming and I can’t see what I’m fearing Moving along in this heat Forever defining I think I’m almost done Born again inside these empty words Moving along in this heat It’s all I’ve ever known I pray I’m almost done Speaking once again these empty words
