The Emptiest Day

Lyrics:

They say you live in hospitals and trenches
And towers in the sky
And I’m not dying or fighting any wars
Except on the inside

The only thing i need is a void that you can fill
And I jump ship and run even farther in your will

And I am looking for the well that won’t run dry
The rest that weary thoughts cannot deny
When you wrap your arms around me I can walk away
or face the emptiest day

The words I find impossible to mention
Are written on a star
They say that i can find you in a flower
But i need you in the car

The optimism of my youth is dead and gone
But I save these speculations for another time and song

Life, is only perceived through chemicals and emotion
But love, love is the island that overgrows the ocean
