Empty Air

Feeling shellshocked
Barbed wire, I'm torn apart
Warheads, dead ends, parties only we attend
The runaround, out of ground
Your goddamn sympathy wears me down

I spend my life reaching out to empty air
Sinking faster all the time, but no one seems to care

Concrete breaks my fall
Troubles ten stories tall
Sunshine, I can't sleep, just like my life on TV
Church bells drown me out
My ears ring your favorite sound

I spend my life reaching out to empty air
Sinking faster all the time, but no one seems to care
Clench my fists to strands that really don't exist
I try not to fool myself, but still I can't resist

(I can't resist)

I spend my life reaching out to empty air
Sinking faster all the time, but no one seems to care
Clench my fists to strands that really don't exist
I try not to fool myself, but still I can't resist

(Sunshine drowns me out)
(Add one more nail to the cross)
(No defense, no second chance)
(No second chance, no second chance)

Blood born, my loss
Nailed to more than just a cross
Driven hard, brick fence
My twenty first second chance

Shellshocked, barbed wire
Warheads, your goddamn sympathy
Concrete ten stories tall
Ten stories tall, ten stories tall

Feeling shellshocked
Empty air
Empty air
