Empty Town

In darkness
Guilt shines bright beyond control
Small parts
Of a broken heart becoming whole
Needs must
I will find a way to reject this anger I feel
Drive on
I’ll take another ride with my pills behind the wheel

Over all these years
We shared the fall of tears
You seemed to be real
Can, can, can we begin to heal?
Sell, sell, sell, if I sell my soul
‘Cause I, I, I can’t be on my own
Guess I’d die, die, die not to be alone
I need a friend on the other end of the phone, so
All is done, nothing’s free
Just stay with me

Can I pay you to be my friend?
And I hope you will begin to care
And then I’ll wait til the sun goes down
Can I pay you with all I got?
And I hope that you’ll give me another shot
I’ll wait until no-one’s left in this empty town

This town
Got nothing left for me to keep hanging on
Two brothers
We’re living in a place where we don’t belong
All lies
Swallow the poison to forget this anger I feel
We’ll live on
I can keep pretending the words that you say are real

Over all these years
We’ve shared our fails and tears
I trusted you were real
Say, say, say that it is and we will
Lie, lie, lie, lie to anyone
‘Cause I, I, I can’t be on my own
Guess I’d die, die, die if I was alone
I need my brother there on the end of the phone, so
What’s done is done, that’s the deal
Just stay with me
