All Too Empty
I crave the attention
But at night I'm all alone
Trapped in these thoughts
All my own
I'm paralyzed
I starve for salvation
But my cup is never filled
The legs beneath me won't be still
And my mind follows
The real world is no place for a boy like me
Took off my goodie-two-shoes in exchange for a drink
With nothing left, I won't let you see
How I'm bitter and broken and all too empty
I feed on the darkness
Cause the light is just too calm
And this despair is just too fun
For me to stop
I wait for the sun to set
Cause then I'll open wide
Let the demons all inside
To crush my soul
The real world is no place for a boy like me
Took off my goodie-two-shoes in exchange for a drink
With nothing left, I won't let you see
How I'm bitter and broken and all too empty
And after all of this is said and done
I pray that there will be someone
To pry open my aching eyes
And give life to this heart of mine
And after all of this is said and done
I pray that there will be someone
To breathe life into this heart
That's longing just to beat again
The real world is no place for a boy like me
Took off my goodie-two-shoes in exchange for a drink
With nothing left, I won't let you see
How I'm bitter and broken and all
The real world is no place for a boy like me
It's taken this long, but I'm starting to see
I'm not someone that I'm proud to be
But perhaps there is some hope there for me
But at night I'm all alone
Trapped in these thoughts
All my own
I'm paralyzed
I starve for salvation
But my cup is never filled
The legs beneath me won't be still
And my mind follows
The real world is no place for a boy like me
Took off my goodie-two-shoes in exchange for a drink
With nothing left, I won't let you see
How I'm bitter and broken and all too empty
I feed on the darkness
Cause the light is just too calm
And this despair is just too fun
For me to stop
I wait for the sun to set
Cause then I'll open wide
Let the demons all inside
To crush my soul
The real world is no place for a boy like me
Took off my goodie-two-shoes in exchange for a drink
With nothing left, I won't let you see
How I'm bitter and broken and all too empty
And after all of this is said and done
I pray that there will be someone
To pry open my aching eyes
And give life to this heart of mine
And after all of this is said and done
I pray that there will be someone
To breathe life into this heart
That's longing just to beat again
The real world is no place for a boy like me
Took off my goodie-two-shoes in exchange for a drink
With nothing left, I won't let you see
How I'm bitter and broken and all
The real world is no place for a boy like me
It's taken this long, but I'm starting to see
I'm not someone that I'm proud to be
But perhaps there is some hope there for me
