“The Emptiness is an idea that my co-vocalist and co-creator Dennis Lee and I have had since the days of recording our first EP, Try This With Your Eyes Closed. We’ve spent our career thus far basing our songs and lyrics on the works of some of our Избранное authors and literature of the past (i.e. stories in Greek mythology, fairy tales of the Brothers Grimm) and some chosen contemporary screenwriting (i.e. Heroes, The Princess Bride). However, even back when we first started Письмо together, he and I always talked about Письмо our own story that we...

Two roads трещина, сплит off from here,
and my life goes running in opposite directions.
Exaggerating the barrier between who I am,
and who I want to be.

I wanted to be that breath of fresh air,
When everything smelled so insincere.
But this taste still lingers in my mouth,
Deceit has ways of sticking around.
And I'm ready to disappear,
Vacation seems far(seems far) from here.

Note to self:
I miss Ты terribly.
This is what
we call a tragedy.
Come back to me,
Come back to me,
To me.

Note to self:
I miss Ты terribly.
This is what
we call a tragedy.
Come back to me,
back to me,
To me.

I can feel my mind
wandering...

Ah Come on!

I can't believe,
The drama that I'm in,
The flood is getting closer,
I don't think they know that I know how to swim,
You're feeling numb, from all that has become.
It leaves your gums, slips down your tongue,
and travels fast down towards your lungs.
All because I (leaving Ты behind)

I feel the pressure,
It's coming down on me,
It's turning me black and blue!
Oh whoa
You left me on the side of the road (side of the road!)
And now I've got no place to go,
You brought the flood!

I can't believe
The troubles that you've caused,
The pain is getting stronger
like an open wound without the gauze,
It's...

Эй, there,
I know it's hard to feel like I don't care at all.
Where Ты are and how Ты feel.
With these lights off as these wheels
keep rolling on and on. (and on and on and on...)
Slow things down или speed them up.
Not enough или way too much. (and on and on and on...)
How are Ты when I'm gone?

[Chorus:]
And I can't make it on my own.
(And I can't make it on my own.)
Because my сердце is in Ohio.
So cut my wrists and black my eyes.
(Cut my wrists and black my eyes)
So I can fall asleep tonight, или die.
Because Ты kill me.
You know Ты do, Ты kill me well.
You like it too, and I can tell.
You never stop until...

Yeah!

And if your сердце stops beating
I'll be here wondering
Did Ты get what Ты deserve?
The ending of your life
And if Ты get to heaven
I'll be here waiting, babe
Did Ты get what Ты deserve?
The end, and if your life won't wait
Then your сердце can't take this

Have Ты heard the news that you're dead?
No one ever had much nice to say
I think they never liked Ты anyway
Oh take me from the hospital bed
Wouldn't it be grand? It ain't exactly what Ты planned.
And wouldn't it be great If we were dead?
Ohh dead.

Tongue-tied and oh so squeamish
You never fell in love
Did Ты get what Ты deserve?
The ending of...

Long назад
Just like the катафалк Ты die to get in again
We are so far from Ты

Burning on just like a match Ты strike to incinerate
The lives of everyone Ты know
And what's the worst Ты take (worst Ты take)
from every сердце Ты break (heart Ты break)
And like the blade Ты stain (blade Ты stain)
Well I've been holding on tonight

What's the worst that I can say?
Things are better if I stay
So long and goodnight
So long and goodnight

Came a time
When every звезда fall brought Ты to tears again
We are the very hurt Ты sold
And what's the worst Ты take (worst Ты take)
from every сердце Ты break...

God bless us everyone
We're a broken people living under loaded gun
And it can't be outfoght
It can't be outdone
It can't out matched
It can't be outrun
No

God bless us everyone
We're a broken people living under loaded gun
And it can't be outfoght
It can't be outdone
It can't out matched
It can't be outrun
No

And when I close my eyes tonight
To symphonies of blinding light
(God bless us everyone
We're a broken people living under loaded gun
Oh)
Like memories in cold decay
Transmissions echoing away
Far from the world of Ты and I
Where oceans bleed into the sky

God save us everyone,
Will we burn inside the fires...
