Name: Empty Hands
Duration: P00H04M16S
Description: It's just about being in a rut. You don't have anything and nothing to show for and no support system. A feeling of being disconnected. This was the first song we wrote after as I am, we had just got done tour and whatnot and sorta coming down from the summer time high so to speak.

It's just about being in a rut. You don't have anything and nothing to show for and no support system. A feeling of being disconnected. This was the first song we wrote after as I am, we had just got done tour and whatnot and sorta coming down from the summer time high so to speak.

lyrics

Waking up always felt like such a chore to me
Stumble out of bed
Avoid the chaos in my head
Spend the day drowning out my thoughts
Feeling lost and out of touch

Pick me up just to let me down
I never felt so low
Waiting for things to change again
And I know that they won't
Things are never as they seem
And I can't help what I can't feel
I think this time
I know this time

Try to sleep but the voices in my head won't let me
I'm reaching out to empty hands
For something more than this
I'll loosen my grip on everything
I'll never understand

Pick me up just to let me down
I never felt so low
Waiting for things to change again
And I know that they won't
Things are never as they seem
And I can't help what I can't feel
I think this time
I know this time
I'd rather be in the ground

Holding back the words I never said
Holding on for reasons I wish I didn't have
I'll never be okay
Or look at life the way you do
I just wanna let go
