Empty Words Songtext
von Rival Choir

If I′m gonna be honest
I'm scared to tell it all
If I let go of my secrets
Will I have anything at all?

And if I′m gonna be honest
Transparency's my god
But I keep all of these secrets
To make it seem like I'm not lost

I′m not lost
This is the lie I tell myself
And this is my reason that I′m still here
Weighed down by the guilt of it all
When every confession is insincere

I know
I know it all too well
But I keep going back because at least I'll have a story to tell

I have a story to tell


But I′m still dirtier than I thought I'd ever be
I keep hiding from the cross
′Cause deep down I don't want to be free
I wanna hold on to this darkness
Scream it loud so I am heard
If I′m gonna be honest
It's the same song, I just rearrange the words

I've been too scared to move past
To move past everything I′ve done
The devil that I know is better than the one I don′t
I know it all too well
This is not the story that I want to tell

'Cause I′m still dirtier than I thought I'd ever be
I keep hiding from the cross
′Cause deep down I don't want to be free
I wanna hold on to this darkness
Scream it loud so I am heard
If I′m gonna be honest
It's the same song, I just rearrange the words

This is the only way I know how to cope
Just grit my teeth and bare it all
This is the only way I know how to feel
So I stay put to keep these stories real
I know there's been truth in the things I′ve sought
And I′ve screamed transparency
But I'm all talk
