Empty Vessel Lyrics by LIMBS

Only the Lonely Know

2020

[Verse 1]
I'll never see what you want me to see
I'll never be what you want me to be
Face down when my head hit the ground
You're just a distant memory
So tell me now if I'm gonna make it out of this
Tell me now if I need to be scared
Tell me how I'm supposed to leave it all behind
And I'll tell you that I'm unprepared
Wasting away
I don't know if my soul can be saved
Wasting away
I don't know if my soul can be saved

[Refrain]
Just an empty vessel
Paying to live

[Verse 2]
I'll never see what you want me to see
I'll nevеr be what you want me to be
Facе down when my head hit the ground
You're just a distant memory

[Chorus]
How long is the breath that I have to hold
Before I'm worth my weight in gold?
How does it feel?
How does it feel?
Only the lonely know

[Bridge]
You can take it or you can leave it
Say goodbye, you can watch me burn it all away
Yeah
You're just a ghost
A memory lost in the smoke
You're just a ghost
A memory lost in the smoke

[Chorus]
How long is the breath that I have to hold
Before I'm worth my weight in gold?
How does it feel?
How does it feel?
Only the lonely know

[Pre-Breakdown]
Walking alone down the longest road
And you did this to yourself
You know you're on your own
You're just a ghost
A memory lost in the smoke
You're just a ghost
You left me all alone

[Breakdown]
No escape
No hope
No goodbyes to the ones I love the most
No escape
No hope
No goodbyes to the ones I love the most

[Refrain]
Trapped in this vessel
I'm wasting away

[Chorus]
How long is the breath that I have to hold
Before I'm worth my weight in gold?
How does it feel?
How does it feel?
Only the lonely know

[Post-Chorus]
Only the lonely know
Only the lonely know

[Outro]
You know I'm wasting away
