lyrics

The sun came through my window
Revealing dust throughout the room
And the old house is talking to me of
How it longs to be a home
Under these sheets seems warmer
Until I step out into the light
I see a breeze through the fields and the tree tops
A forgotten world lays just outside

Don't leave me empty

I let the wood bow under my weight
She's taken care of me through all these years
And I've been thinking maybe it's time I give something back
Or atleast control all of my fears
Summer knocks on my front door and
Anxiety eats my knees
The house takes a deep breath as a
Sigh of relief
All I ever wanted was a place to call our own
But it's clear to me that I'm better off alone

Don't leave me empty

The moment I made my mind up, but many years too late
I wouldn't let go of my best friend and say goodbye to
Everything
I poured gasoline through the living room, threw a match at the front door
And I sat on the fields as the flames release me
From my binds to release my soul

Don't leave me empty

Smoke up, smoke up, smoke up
Light up, light up, light up
