Empty Shelves Inside Of Me

Gone..all the people I love most

All these people are

drifting off now

I'm left alone

on the couch 

With my feet hanging low

Crumpled tissues, liner runs

And my heart beats slower, slower...slow

Blonde hair bobs on the horizon

Brothers shoulders sink into the night

I'm waiting for texts that won't come from

The lover to whom I've said goodbye

And there's a bird somewhere singing

And I'm waiting for my heart to come home

She's been wandering outside this body

But now my body is empty and cold

Soul, come in for a landing

Soul, I'm lonely without you

God, please bring me closer and closer

God, sing me Your sweet lullaby

All these people are

Drifting off now

I'm left alone

On this cliff

With my feet hanging over

Throwing pieces of myself down in

And my heart beats slower, slower...slow
