Yumi Nu - Empty Circle lyrics

To breathe a constant reminder as seconds
Minutes and hours subside

"Draw an empty circle on your yellow pad
This will be me, no insides in thrall
Stare at it a while, then erase the scrawl"

Sharp is the sound of pickax
That hurts dead iron still

It's gentler than what we've been
Told or said ourselves
It's gentler than what we've been
Told or said ourselves
It's gentler than what we've been
Told or said ourselves
It's gentler than what we've been
Told or said ourselves

At times it would be hard to
Figure out which is worse
At times it would be hard to
Figure out which is worse
At times it would be hard to
Figure out which is worse
At times it would be hard to
Figure out which is worse

The darkness inside or the darkness out

Or the darkness outside darkness outside
Dark inside or the darkness out
