Full parking lot

With no one in their cars

Full building

With people working hard

We're so out of it

And still walking around

And you'd never know it from here

Because the smiles don't disappear

Empty is what it's called

When the feeling already happened

But hasn't reached you yet

It's not a feeling just the part where you left

You can't work a whole shift inside it

You can't answer the phone anymore

You can't say the right words to them

To sell a product at their doors

We ask how we're doing

We say we're doing fine

But all of us just know

We don't feel that way inside

Empty is what it's called

When the feeling already happened

But hasn't reached you yet

It's not a feeling just the part where you left

You can be so full that no one gets in

That's not a life that's holding a sin

That's what it's good for breaking your function

Nothing's been forgiven it just isn't due today

Nobody wants to be left out

Everybody wants to be filled in

But the cup's already full

With nowhere to begin

Empty is what it's called

When the feeling already happened

But hasn't reached you yet

It's not a feeling just the part where you left

Fullness is where it starts

Not where you end up

You can't be given anything

With emptiness you can't back up

It must be better to be hungry

Than full of the wrong things

I heard the full ones get voided

And the emptied ones just get life

Saved is what it's called

When the emptiness is finally gone

But hasn't reached you yet

It's not a feeling just the heart that's left
