Lyrics

Empty Friend (demo)

I came here to be shallow

And to watch you spill out all your dreams

I sucked them up like a cool drink

I was never too willing to leave

Some empty friend

Who talked me into sleep

Sweet dreams

And threw my wings

Into the blazing sun

Goodnight

Puked a castle of crystal

Across the bright yellow kitchen floor

Watched the roaches grow kingly

Served them death by the ivory sink shore

Some empty friend

Who talked me into sleep

Sweet dreams

And threw my wings

Into the blazing sun

Some empty friend

Who talked me into sleep

And threw my wings

Into the blazing sun

Caught up in my thoughts

A beehive swarming

I can't swat you out

Your stories are too sweet

Should've never believed you

Should've shut off my hearing

Should've closed my eyes tightly

Some empty friend

Who talked me into sleep

Sweet dreams

And threw my wings

Into the blazing sun

Some empty friend

Who talked me into sleep

Some empty friend

Who talked me into sleep

And threw my wings

Into the blazing sun

And threw my wings

Into the blazing sun

Some empty friend

Who talked me into sleep

Some empty friend

Who talked me into sleep

And threw my wings

Into the blazing sun

And threw my wings

Into the blazing sun
