Lyrics

Empty Shells

[Verse 1]

Our souls took off and left us behind

That's when we lost our hearts and our minds

We have no use for them anyway

They don't fit in to our routine day

[Chorus]

We're the empty shells of our former selves

We're the empty shells

We're the empty shells of our former selves

We're the empty shells

Empty shells

[Verse 2]

You see us in groups, you see us on our own

Going to church and taking out loans

Following sports, working our jobs

Chances are you're already singing along

[Chorus]

We're the empty shells of our former selves

We're the empty shells

We're the empty shells of our former selves

We're the empty shells

Empty shells

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]

We're the empty shells of our former selves

We're the empty shells

We're the empty shells of our former selves

We're the empty shells

Empty shells
