Empty House - Joseph Lawrence

My soul is haunted, my heart is stolen You cannot break what's already broken I cannot get back time that I borrowed Life is too short to fill all of the sorrow I'm in this empty house (ooh-ooh) I'm not the only one that's here Me and the spirits now (ooh-ooh) And the walls are closing in I've prayed for peace before, all I know is war I have battled the voices within Angels I used to know, had to let them go Now they visit when fear's in the air My innocence taken, tried to replace it Chasing the same things that left me jaded Must have mistaken my courage for bravery Wasn't prepared for the turmoil and hatred Where will you turn when your conscience is calling your name? Memories burn, I just watch as they go up in flames I'm in this empty house (ooh-ooh) I'm not the only one that's here Me and the spirits now (ooh-ooh) And the walls are closing in I've prayed for peace before, all I know is war I have battled the voices within Angels I used to know, had to let them go Now they visit when fear's in the air When I'm lonely I don't feel alone I can't let go, darkness is holding on Almost died before, what I'm fighting for Is the chance that I finally change, I need peace It's so hard when my sins keep chasing me I'm in this empty house (ooh-ooh) I'm not the only one that's here Me and the spirits now (ooh-ooh) And the walls are closing in I've prayed for peace before, all I know is war I have battled the voices within Angels I used to know, had to let them go Now they visit when fear's in the air

I want to rise but I don't know how Because the gravity pulls me down I want to rule and take the crown But I just can't, I'm landing down I hate gravity, I can't get no higher I hate sanity, feels like my mind's on fire I'm empty, ah ah Someone help me, ah ah I'm empty, ah ah Ah ah, ah, ah, ah I'm empty, ah ah Someone help me, ah ah I'm empty, ah ah Someone help me, ah ah I'm empty, ah ah Someone help me, ah ah I'm empty, ah ah Ah ah, ah, ah, ah I'm empty, ah ah Someone help me, ah ah I'm empty, ah ah Someone help me, ah ah I'm empty, ah ah Someone help me, ah ah I'm empty, ah ah Ah ah, ah, ah, ah I want to rise but I don't know how Because the gravity pulls me down I want to rule and take the crown But I just can't, I'm landing down I hate gravity, I can't get no higher I hate sanity, feels like my mind's on fire I'm empty, ah ah Someone help me, ah ah I'm empty, ah ah Someone help me, ah ah I'm empty, ah ah Someone help me, ah ah I'm empty, ah ah Ah ah, ah, ah, ah I'm empty, ah ah Someone help me, ah ah I'm empty, ah ah Someone help me, ah ah I'm empty, ah ah Someone help me, ah ah I'm empty, ah ah Ah ah, ah, ah, ah I hate gravity, I can't get no higher I hate sanity, feels like my mind's on fire

I hope I feel it soon I hope this day ends and I can start anew 'Cause all this doom and gloom Is clouding me and I can't see past you But what is it gonna take just to feel okay? When the light at the end of this is so far away Is it hope? Is it love? Is it time? Do we just need space? Yeah, do we just need space? I'm sitting in this empty house Just trying to feel much better now I'm just trying to feel much better now I'm spinning and I'm fading out Just trying make this better now I'm just trying make this better now The surface only proves That I'm not good and I'm not good without you The things that I consume They consume me, perpetuate my mood But what is it gonna take just to feel okay? When the light at the end of this is so far away Is it hope? Is it love? Do we talk? Is it therapy? 'Cause I've got no love and I don't have much to say I'm sitting in this empty house Just trying feel much better now I'm just trying feel much better now I'm spinning and I'm fading out Just trying make this better now I'm just trying make this better now I hope I feel it soon I hope this day ends and I can start anew I'm sitting in this empty house Just trying feel much better now I'm just trying feel much better now I'm spinning and I'm fading out Just trying make this better now I'm just trying make this better now But what can be said for a new day? When everything fucking hurts There can be no other way When I love you so I love you so much Yeah, there can be no other way When I love you so much

I've been buried alive By all this weight I carry When will I get a break Now I think I've got a grip On this nightmare trip When will l get a break I know I'm not alone But I'm sick of being lonely So I'll find my comfort here In my mind I'll learn to love myself In my empty house When no ones around me The walls are bleeding memories And I can't breathe I'm alone No one's around me Just me myself and I I know I'm worth fighting for I've been broken inside And you won't listen to my cries When will I get a break I am begging you for more Trapped behind closed doors When will I get a break But now I'm not alone And I'm no longer lonely I have found my comfort here In my mind I'll learn to love myself I'll learn to love myself In my empty house When no ones around me The walls are bleeding memories And I can't breathe I'm alone No one's around me Just me myself and I I know I'm worth fighting for Never alone long enough To see who I truly was I Ripped the bandage off the burn To see who you truly were There is venom in your words I'm not sure if you heard I'll learn to love myself In my empty house When no ones around me The walls are bleeding memories And I can't breathe I'm alone No one's around me Just me myself and I I know I'm worth fighting for In my empty house When no ones around me I'm alone No one's around me I know I'm worth
