Empty Words

With a hopeless heart and bloodshot eyes The walls are closing in, this smile is my disguise An anxious mind like a rising tide Constantly drowning in a sea of endless lies What did I expect to find in the shadow of a better life My choices left me paralyzed, it's time to face the truth I found myself trapped in this hell Surrounded by empty words and tired excuses I disguise myself 'til there's nothing left Surrounded by empty words These shackled hands bound by righteous chains I need to search my soul and try to rearrange This wasted life, so consumed by shame Constantly lashing out and taking zero blame What did I expect to find in the shadow of a better life My choices left me paralyzed, it's time to face the truth I found myself trapped in this hell Surrounded by empty words and tired excuses I disguise myself 'til there's nothing left Surrounded by empty words I never knew these empty words were haunting you I never knew these empty words were haunting you With every breath, I'm straying further from the truth I found myself trapped in this hell Surrounded by empty words and tired excuses I disguise myself 'til there's nothing left Surrounded by empty words Empty words
