Empty Words

They came out with bruises
The only visible sign of loss
After years of delusions
All they knew was these words
Those empty lines

With a sense of conclusion
Sacrificing what they've learned
Needed time to heal but
All they knew was these lines
With empty words

They were reaching out for something
To rely on
But were never close enough
Found out nothing to believe in
And tried to hide it
And were never close enough

Is it the sense of belonging
Keeping the mind in captivity
Rewarding the numb and the silent
Humbleness can turn into
A deceitful game

He find himself on the outside
Of a stained glass window, looking in
Where familiar faces are smiling
They really don't know him
Only empty words

They were reaching out for something
To rely on
But were never close enough
Found out nothing to believe in
And tried to hide it
And were never close enough

Some embraces feel more like
An attempt to avoid an escape
And some rooms may turn out to be
Just as suffocating as a cage

Followed by a faint shadow
Now he feels like he's half of a man
So tired of roaming the wasteland
So tired of worrying
And turning every stone

They were reaching out for something
To rely on
But were never close enough
Found out nothing to believe in
And tried to hide it
And were never close enough

They were reaching out for something
To rely on
But were never close enough
Found out nothing to believe in
And tried to hide it
And were never close enough
