Empty Husk
Stop saying the words
You know they only hurt me
So why do you desert me
To die like a bird
Wings broken and songs silenced
Didn't survive the violence
Sleep through the night
So you don't regard the torture
As anything but order
And law; be polite
Don't say the things you want to
Stay more still than a statue
Day after day
Smile on that shelf
Stand graceful but don't decay
From dawn til' dusk
You can't be yourself
You're just an empty husk
Obey your commands
You never had a choice
Can't even use your voice
Against their demands
To resist is just to die
But are you even alive
Hide but don't seek
You won't find what you pursue
You won't make a breakthrough
'Cause you're not unique
Received a guilty verdict
Of being imperfect
Self-improvement is never true
'Cause it's for the ones around you
Don't have history to hide
'Cause the past is dead inside
My mind is tired of not having the words to say so please stay
Day after day
Smile on that shelf
Stand graceful but don't decay
From dawn til' dusk
You can't be yourself
You're just an empty husk
You know they only hurt me
So why do you desert me
To die like a bird
Wings broken and songs silenced
Didn't survive the violence
Sleep through the night
So you don't regard the torture
As anything but order
And law; be polite
Don't say the things you want to
Stay more still than a statue
Day after day
Smile on that shelf
Stand graceful but don't decay
From dawn til' dusk
You can't be yourself
You're just an empty husk
Obey your commands
You never had a choice
Can't even use your voice
Against their demands
To resist is just to die
But are you even alive
Hide but don't seek
You won't find what you pursue
You won't make a breakthrough
'Cause you're not unique
Received a guilty verdict
Of being imperfect
Self-improvement is never true
'Cause it's for the ones around you
Don't have history to hide
'Cause the past is dead inside
My mind is tired of not having the words to say so please stay
Day after day
Smile on that shelf
Stand graceful but don't decay
From dawn til' dusk
You can't be yourself
You're just an empty husk
