Lyrics by Sarah Jacob

EMPTY

Empty, empty

The Buddhists’ say

It is our reality

Emptiness

Fills my chest

It’s gonna burst

With all this

Nothingness.

Chorus

And there’s nothing

But empty questions

Spinning around my head

Questions like was there

Every any meaning

In any empty

Word you said?

Verse 2

Emptiness

Oh lend me your ear

I will let you hear

How it sighs and moans

Emptiness

Like a weeping

Violin

It’s very comforting

When it’s not your own.

Chorus 2

And there’s nothing

But empty questions

Like “Do you ever

Think of me?”

Did you turn the page

Of a whole new chapter

In your empty

Autobiography?

Verse 3

Emptiness

Oh emptiness

I don’t think this is what

The Buddhists meant.

Emptiness

Oh raise your glass in a toast

Cos it was never half full

It was always empty

You know.

Empty

Always

Empty.
