Empty Friend Lyrics by Failure

1992-1996

1994

[Verse 1]
I came here to be shallow
And to watch you spill out all your dreams
Suck them up like a cool drink
I was never too willing to leave

[Chorus]
Some empty friend
Who talked me into sleep
Sweet dreams
And threw my wings
Into the blazing sun

[Verse 2]
Coughed a castle of crystal
Across the bright yellow kitchen floor
Watched the roaches grow kingly
Served them death by the ivory sink shore

[Chorus]
Some empty friend
Who talked me into sleep
Sweet dreams
And threw my wings
Into the blazing sun

[Bridge]
Caught up in my thoughts, a beehive swarming
I can't swat you out, your stories are too sweet
Should've never believed you
Why'd I ever believe you?

[Outro]
Some empty friend
Who talked me into sleep
Sweet dreams
And threw my wings
Into the blazing sun (Some empty friend)
Who talked me into sleep (Some empty friend)
Who talked me into sleep (And threw my wings)
Into the blazing sun (And threw my wings)
Into the blazing sun (Some empty friend)
Who talked me into sleep
