Empty Houses

There was a smile, and wave
Over other signals
While you dug your grave
Underneath the floorboards
Asking God to show his face
So we could fill the empty space
Spending your nights alone
Staring at the ceiling
Trapped inside our mind
A prisoner to believing that
The world would shut you out
When you did it all yourself
And we are done
I’ll burn out
From all the pain you kept inside
All of the pain you hid behind
You hid behind
Now there’s an empty house
Four walls falling down
Just like the hollow shelf
You would step all around it
All your things are in the street
In a box that’s labelled free
Spending your nights alone
Staring at the ceiling
Trapped inside your mind
A prisoner to believing that
The world would shut you out
When you did it all yourself
And we are done
I’ll burn out
From all the pain you kept inside
All of the pain you hid behind
And you can quit
And leave your life
From all the pain you kept inside
All of the pain you hid behind
You hid behind
You kept your faith
But you lost your hope
You tied the knot
But you cut the rope
And when you listened to God he never spoke
And you can quit
And leave your life
From all the pain you kept inside
The pain you hid behind
You hid behind
