Close Your Eyes - Empty Hands lyrics
[Close Your Eyes - Empty Hands lyrics]
I am all alone your words
Have never brought me peace
They rain down upon my
Head and destroy everything
With weary eyes I stare at the sea
In the distance I hear you call out for me
I am so tired of running away
Only to come back right where I
Had buried this with my hands
Still you tell me that I can be trusted
With a burden that I never wanted
No matter how I try to push you away
I still hear you call out to me
I'm not the better man I'm called to be
Why can't I escape? You pull
Me under the waves
I'm the one who made this sea
It's taken everything from me
Still you try to sing me to sleep
But, I buried this with my hands
No matter what I try I keep coming back
There were days that I asked
For this to change
But there was a fear inside of me
A fear that made me question who I am
And why I'm capable of such horrible things
And every single promise that you
Whispered in my ear
That fear just kept growing
Until it consumed me
But, I let that fear go
And I can see who you are
Your words gave me nothing
I've been running away for too
Long I'm not running anymore
I will stand my ground and scream out loud
My heart won't be yours
So I buried this with my hands
And no matter what you try
I won't be coming back
I'm not the better man I'm called to be
Why can't I escape? You pull
Me under the waves
I'm the one who made this sea
It's taken everything from me
And no matter what you try you
Won't sing me to sleep
Have never brought me peace
They rain down upon my
Head and destroy everything
With weary eyes I stare at the sea
In the distance I hear you call out for me
I am so tired of running away
Only to come back right where I
Had buried this with my hands
Still you tell me that I can be trusted
With a burden that I never wanted
No matter how I try to push you away
I still hear you call out to me
I'm not the better man I'm called to be
Why can't I escape? You pull
Me under the waves
I'm the one who made this sea
It's taken everything from me
Still you try to sing me to sleep
But, I buried this with my hands
No matter what I try I keep coming back
There were days that I asked
For this to change
But there was a fear inside of me
A fear that made me question who I am
And why I'm capable of such horrible things
And every single promise that you
Whispered in my ear
That fear just kept growing
Until it consumed me
But, I let that fear go
And I can see who you are
Your words gave me nothing
I've been running away for too
Long I'm not running anymore
I will stand my ground and scream out loud
My heart won't be yours
So I buried this with my hands
And no matter what you try
I won't be coming back
I'm not the better man I'm called to be
Why can't I escape? You pull
Me under the waves
I'm the one who made this sea
It's taken everything from me
And no matter what you try you
Won't sing me to sleep
