[Verse 1]
Writing was security
Oh God, it seems eternity
Is the void between a good idea
And the ink stains I call words that I vomit here
Tomorrow never comes but yesterday
Hangs like a spectre over me
And it's the dirt on the shovel that’s slowly burying me
Yeah!
[Refrain]
Jesus, I exploit You without You
[Verse 2]
God, I looked outward and I found nothing
I looked inside and found that it was much the same
So why the hell do I keep forgetting to look up
When I'm struggling to put fingers to keys or a pen to a blank page
I never thought that I would be
Cursing my extremities
I used to guide so willingly
Across the strings and pages that have come to be
That have come to be
[Bridge]
Empty, empty, empty I am
Empty, empty, empty I am
I am empty
I am empty
[Verse 3]
Crack my ribs so the void inside has a place to go
I feel so empty sometimes, God you know, I feel alone
Take my weary head and lay it low
Crack my ribs so the void inside has a place to go
I feel so empty sometimes, God you know, I feel alone
Take my broken heart and slowly make it whole
[Refrain]
Jesus, I exploit You without You
