lyrics

Empty pages waiting to be filled with my words
A hundred songs waiting to be filled with my voice
A world of people to get it out there and heard
Empty pages to be filled, and it's all by my choice

I'm silent... It's like I forgot how to communicate
Trying to break sound barriers but living at a human's pace
Slower than a human race held down by glue
Feeling loopy like I was also stuck and breathing the fumes
I've been subdued, finally, I've been waiting for the day
That I could no longer sit here pretending this is all okay
Not a depressing collapse or an aggressive relapse
Don't really know what to call it, a new beginning perhaps
I write with such vigor, portray my life through strange figures
But I make more mistakes daily than I could count on my fingers
Instead of riddles and puzzles, I should just be more open
Spend more time working on this instead of sitting around hoping
It'll be recepted well, I do this for myself alone
I'm happy if you like it but I could be content while unknown
I fear change... It's strange, I walk the walk but don't talk it
I've got a little spare knowledge and trepidation in my pocket

Empty pages waiting to be filled with my words
A hundred songs waiting to be filled with my voice
A world of people to get it out there and heard
Empty pages to be filled, and it's all by my choice
A hundred songs written waiting to see the light of day
A hundred empty minds waiting to be filled with my voice
A world of people out there pretending to be okay
Empty hearts to be filled, and it's all by my choice

I broke down today... It's like I forgot how to live
I forgot how to remember to forget and forgive
Gave satisfaction to the faction of weakness in my heart
I guess you have to break it down in order to build a new start
I got the parts, determination and a quart of clarity
Time to see if I can spin this art into prosperity
I drift through crowds of people who I will never get to know
Don't have time to build the balance man, I've just gotta go
My friend once pretended I was dead, I watched the world go up in flames
As they all squabbled over death and who was to blame
I guess the aim of the game was to see who was most insane
Peace and unity seemed to only put strain on their brains
I can do without it, forever, I can live happy no problem
Some people don't like the depth but I built a house at rock bottom
And you can come in and visit, I'll write a song before you leave
Like music and a positive outlook is all that you really need

Someday we'll all get sick of trying to pretend we don't care
We'll do something about it instead of just scream it's not fair
Someday we'll all get tired of pretending that we're happy to settle
We'll do something about it instead of whine and backpedal

Empty pages waiting to be filled with my words
A hundred songs waiting to be filled with my voice
A world of people to get it out there and heard
Empty pages to be filled, and it's all by my choice

I wrote volumes of peace in between the lines in my mind
Tried to share them with the world but they seemed so unkind
Didn't want to hear what I had to say, so I erased every page
Overwrote the peace with blind rage, we'll talk peace in a new age
For now empty pages are waiting to be filled with my words
Don't know if they'll ever be heard, so far they've called it absurd
But a world of people seem to be waiting to hear my voice
Empty hearts to be filled, and it's all by my choice
