“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 お気に入り 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 書く together, he and I always talked about 書く our own story that we...

Two roads スプリット, 分割 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 あなた terribly.
This is what
we call a tragedy.
Come back to me,
Come back to me,
To me.

Note to self:
I miss あなた 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 あなた 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...

こんにちは there,
I know it's hard to feel like I don't care at all.
Where あなた are and how あなた feel.
With these lights off as these wheels
keep rolling on and on. (and on and on and on...)
Slow things down または speed them up.
Not enough または way too much. (and on and on and on...)
How are あなた 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 ハート, 心 is in Ohio.
So cut my wrists and black my eyes.
(Cut my wrists and black my eyes)
So I can fall asleep tonight, または die.
Because あなた kill me.
You know あなた do, あなた kill me well.
You like it too, and I can tell.
You never stop until...

Yeah!

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

Have あなた heard the news that you're dead?
No one ever had much nice to say
I think they never liked あなた anyway
Oh take me from the hospital bed
Wouldn't it be grand? It ain't exactly what あなた 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 あなた get what あなた deserve?
The ending of...

Long 前
Just like the 霊柩車 あなた die to get in again
We are so far from あなた

Burning on just like a match あなた strike to incinerate
The lives of everyone あなた know
And what's the worst あなた take (worst あなた take)
from every ハート, 心 あなた break (heart あなた break)
And like the blade あなた stain (blade あなた 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 星, つ星 fall brought あなた to tears again
We are the very hurt あなた sold
And what's the worst あなた take (worst あなた take)
from every ハート, 心 あなた 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 あなた and I
Where oceans bleed into the sky

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