02_Empty (Empty)

Go big or go home has always been my mentality

It’s probably why I’m bordering on insanity

And I’ve driven so far that my tank’s on empty

The quest for the holy grail’s taken so much out of me

Building bridges to my castle got no enemies

I’m trying to build a throne with a white-gold canopy

The knights of my round table platinum plaque centrepiece 

Yes I’m cursed with desire to chase for things out of reach

Silly dream has got me chasing my tail

And it’s designed in such a way that 98% fail

But still I go ahead into the stormy ocean I sail

Until I end up in the bellies of piranhas and whales

The paper chase has got me out of breath, swimming in debt

Sometimes wanna jump out this jet

Maybe I should just go to bed and rest my head or end up dead

But I really need to make the cheddar and the bacon and the bread

Because the animals don’t believe in Santa Claus 

Seeking fortune and applause left me so empty

I’ve fired cannonballs into monstrous waterfalls

Seeking fortune and applause left me so empty

Monsoon season water in my lungs I’m barely breathing

Pepper in my nasal cavity has got me sneezing

Pain from my toes to my gums it’s like I’m teething

Pressing forward on this journey don’t stop believing

Now I’m searching high and low to find a reason

Cause somewhere along the line I think I lost the feeling

Onwards and upwards obsession with achieving 

But success likes to kiss up on my neck she’s only teasing

The circulation’s cutting off but I’m still bleeding

Eyes up in the word trying to do my daily reading

Surrounded by gators and sharks bottom feeding

Filling up my schedule the devil wants a meeting

Struggling to meet the ends even though I’m stealing

Every show I play I rearrange the seating

Up my sleeve pocket aces always dealing

Head up in the clouds when I should be kneeling

Because the animals they don’t believe in Santa Claus 

Seeking fortune and applause left me so empty

I’ve fired cannonballs into monstrous waterfalls

Seeking fortune and applause left me so empty

I’m in search of what’s been lost

Trying to calculate the cost

Blood’s so cold it’s turned to frost

Can you please connect the dots?

Because the animals don’t believe in Santa Claus 

Seeking fortune and applause left me so empty

I’ve fired cannonballs into monstrous waterfalls

Seeking fortune and applause left me so empty

I’m trying to fill the void

But there’s no substitution for the noise

Yes I’m trying to fill the void

But there’s no substitution for the noise
