Bad news is the daily truth

We can't deny it

Too much noise but yet we choose

To lie about it

Everyone is telling their story, its glory

Makes it hard to understand

That we're all dying

Come into the waiting room

It's like they're saying

Fold up in a big cocoon

We're slowly fading

And when it's done

We will be brighter, lighter

That's what they said, still not prepared

We cannot fight it

Don't you see

There's nothing underneath

We lost ourselves

We're choking in our sleep

We're only an empty shell

We're only an empty shell

Wash the dirt off of your face

In holy water

You can't stop your fall from grace

Don't even bother

'Cause when it's done

Only our stories of glory

Keep us awake before we fade

Buried in darkness

Don't you see

There's nothing underneath

We lost ourselves

We're choking in our sleep

We're only an empty shell

We're only an empty shell

Don't you see

There's nothing underneath

We lost ourselves

We're choking in our sleep

Don't you see

There's nothing underneath

We lost ourselves

We're choking in our sleep

We're only an empty shell

We're only an empty shell
