Vacant
I'm waiting for me to live
Life like an eagle soars
But I'm chained upon a load
That threatens to bring us to harm
Am I too vacant to recognize what I ought to conceal
As their hateful eyes are glowing in hordes surrounding?
This moment will pass me by
As these drugs will get me high
But down in the doldrums
The devil speaks a vicious tune singing:
"Bring Hell to all cause the Lord ain't there for you"
Is that true?
Or am I too vacant to understand what I ought to ignore
As their merciless havoc breathes its fire toward my door?
It's been so long
Can't see what's in front of me
This holding cell won't release my sanity
No it won't
What is home anymore when I can't breathe
Through the smoke so thick and so wild
Consuming me?
I'm waiting upon this ledge
Just hoping you'll see me score
Take a jump shot into the cloud rim of heaven above
To be kissed by all net
Her lips tainted with blood, with my blood
Am I too vacant to reconcile who's attacking me?
While every side is drawing the same lines on concrete
All are aware that he took his final leap
I took my final leap
Drowning down into the gutter but hope to one day float upstream
