Empty Promises Lyrics by Sever

This Should Have Been A Better Place

2022

[Verse 1]
It's been years since the last time I picked up my phone
All my friends think I'm dead
It's been years since I opened the door
I feel better alone locked inside my head
I'm getting older, getting tired
Of this one thing I can’t ignore
It seems that I don’t belong here
(This should have been)

[Verse 2]
I keep telling myself it's the nightmares that made my hands shake
Not the substances I am abusing, no
No great depression, no great war, no purpose or place
Only fear you feel knowing, you'll be left on the roadside
Was I born too early?
(Or too late?)

[Chorus]
This should have been a better place
Still we are digging our own graves
In your empty promises (your promises)
How can we put on a happy face?
Knowing there is no escape from the ruins
Of your empty promises

[Bridge]
This should have been a better place
This should have been a better place
This should have been a better place
I'm not sure will I ever return from this battlefield
Everyone steps on, yet no one survives
This is a war and our spirits are spare
We don't belong here, we don't belong here
We are dead men walking
We are dead men
(This should have been)

[Chorus]
This should have been a better place
Still we are digging our own graves
In your empty promises (your promises)
How can we put on a happy face?
Knowing there is no escape from the ruins
Of your empty promises
