lyrics

Let's trade our pious ways
For profane ones
Let's call out father
And wonder who's considered son?
I've been looking for an answer
To a question that I never thought I'd ask
I've been running on empty for a while now

I've been waiting to tell you
Since the night the TV couldn't calm me down
Fake displays of their happiness make it real
This doesn't come in my size
You've been sleeping in countries
Speaking a language I don't really understand
I've been running from empty for a lifetime now

(Take deep breaths, and let it go)
Lately we've been drinking a lot so our
hopes, might hopefully last.
As the angels joined in
To bring up the past
We couldn't couldn't help but laugh

Ha ha ha hallelujah

Feels empty now.

You compare the afterlife
To an empty womb
I've tried to call you but you occupy this whole damn room
I've waited up
Enough to see what this was

(Take deep breaths, and let it go)
Lately we've been drinking a lot so our
hopes might hopefully last.
As the angels joined in
To bring up the past
We couldn't couldn't help but laugh

Hallelujah
Now everybody knows
I threw the first stone

(Come, come whoever you are.
Wonderer, worshipper, lover of leaving.
It doesn't matter.
Ours is not a caravan of despair.
Come, even if you have broken your vow
a thousand times
Come, yet again, come, come.)
