"Empty Words" lyrics

With a hopeless heart and bloodshot eyes
The walls are closing in, this smile is my disguise
An anxious mind like a rising tide
Constantly drowning in a sea of endless lies

What did I expect to find in the shadow of a better life
My choices left me paralyzed, it's time to face the truth

I found myself trapped in this hell
Surrounded by empty words and tired excuses
I disguise myself 'til there's nothing left
Surrounded by empty words

These shackled hands bound by righteous chains
I need to search my soul and try to rearrange
This wasted life, so consumed by shame
Constantly lashing out and taking zero blame

What did I expect to find in the shadow of a better life
My choices left me paralyzed, it's time to face the truth

I found myself trapped in this hell
Surrounded by empty words and tired excuses
I disguise myself 'til there's nothing left
Surrounded by empty words

I never knew these empty words were haunting you
I never knew these empty words were haunting you
With every breath, I'm straying further from the truth

I found myself trapped in this hell
Surrounded by empty words and tired excuses
I disguise myself 'til there's nothing left
Surrounded by empty words
(Empty words)
