Empty As The Sea

Yeah, finally got another new one written over the weekend. Its pretty sweet, very emotional. I'd like to think of it as City And Colour meets the Get Up Kids.

Enjoy:

You girls are always like the sea
I'm left on the shore
Looking out
As the sunset, it sinks into the sea

The ship is broken down while the captain finds
The bottle is no cure,
No, not this time

I'll keep digging myself deeper
Because dreams aren't what they used to be
You don't know you've become a volunteer
Helping me to bury myself
Just to bury myself
In hopes that soul will come a-looking
To tell me its not the worst that's coming
I know I can't sing the same ol' song
Even if you decide to sing along

I have nothing to give but my tears and my fears
And some gestures, oh the gestures
I'm sorry so I'll believe that you care
but only enough to listen
Don't tell me your intentions
Because I won't believe them

I'll break my own heart and hide the pieces in a box
Then I'll put it back together just to do it again
But I've hidden in you the other half

I'll cover this hole with a blanket of hope
Just to keep myself believing
That its alright, I'm okay
But when life just laughs
And I learn from mistakes
Then, I realize that I'm empty
As empty as the sea

(END)

To really explain this song fully, I'll have to dig really deep which I don't really want to do this publicly. In general, its about that feeling of emptiness in your heart when you seem to be missing something important.
