(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
