Empty Vessel Lyrics

I'll never see what you want me to see.
I'll never be what you want me to be.
Face down; when my head hit the ground,
You're just a distant memory.

So tell me now if I'm gonna make it out of this,
Tell me now if I need to be scared.
Tell me how I'm supposed to leave it all behind,
And I'll tell you that I'm unprepared.
Wasting away, I don't know if my soul can be saved.

Just an empty vessel, paying to live.

I'll never see what you want me to see.
I'll never be what you want me to be.
Face down; when my head hit the ground,
You're just a distant memory.
How long is the breath that I have to hold,
Before I'm worth my weight in gold?
How does it feel? How does it feel?
Only the lonely know.

You can take it,
Or you can leave it.
Say goodbye,
You can watch me burn it all away.

You're just a ghost – a memory lost in the smoke.

How long is the breath that I have to hold,
Before I'm worth my weight in gold?
How does it feel? How does it feel?
Only the lonely know.

Walking alone, down the longest road...
And you did this to yourself.
You know you're on your own.

You're just a ghost – a memory lost in the smoke.
You're just a ghost. You left me all alone.

No escape. No hope.
No goodbyes to the ones I love the most.

Trapped in this vessel, I'm wasting away.

How long is the breath that I have to hold,
Before I'm worth my weight in gold?
How does it feel? How does it feel?
Only the lonely know.

...You know I'm wasting away.
