lyrics

"EMPTY" by David Guilbault

Empty. Empty.
This world’s become so empty.
Empty. Empty.
This world’s become so empty.

There’s something missing from this place.
Look around and you won’t see a face
That looks alive, that still has sight,
That holds a glow of loving light. (2)

Empty. Empty.
This life’s become so empty.
Empty. Empty.
This life’s become so empty.

Hollow words and vacant eyes.
Forsaken souls, vacated lives.
Exhausted hearts beating their last sparks.
Dying embers in a cold and darkened hearth. (2)

Empty. Empty.
We’ve become so empty.
Empty. Empty.
We’ve become so empty.

When the power’s gone it ain’t but gone.
There ain’t no flow when it’s all drawn.
The cells will die. The wells run dry.
There ain’t no charge to spark the dawn. (2)

Empty. Empty.
This world’s become so empty.
