(She's A) Universal Emptiness

[Verse 1] And she sits there by the wall Making holes where I just stood And her hands, they touch her face Like her face is made of wood And she holds onto a memory Of something I never said But she still can't quite remember If my eyes are blue or dead [Chorus] She's the mother of us all She's the victim of my sadness And the more she tries to know it The more she'll never fill it She's a universal emptiness A universal emptiness A universal emptiness And a total lack of faith [Verse 2] And I saw her once before Down on her bended knees Through a window of the church at night Confessing to the broken priest She is holy, as all women are And she suffers like a saint Yeah, she touched my hand with cruelty But I was punished far too late [Chorus] She's the mother of us all She's the guardian of our sin And the more she tries to save us The more she pulls us in She's a universal emptiness A universal emptiness A universal emptiness A universal emptiness A universal emptiness A universal emptiness A universal emptiness A universe, oh [Outro] She's the last mistake we make
