Empty Vessels Songtext
von The Maccabees

Treading the road with no place to go
It ain′t safe to know
It ain't safe to feel so
Unattached to any particular concern
But to reconfirm that we

Dare to take this
Route hard travelled with perpetual babbles
And bitter sweet similes
Similar to nothing of society′s teachings
Society's beating
The best and the worst and it's
Yet another squalid verse in the thirst
In the quest of the yet to be wretched
Such is the nature of the searcher

When you′ve had it up to here
And you don′t wish to hurt ya
And I've got a big list to blame
And I will call out names
And I will fuel the shame that may


Set upon society′s shoulders for generations to come
Comfortably numb from the barrel of a gun

If only I could wake this world
If only I could shake this world
What would it take to wake this world
And hear the silent sigh
The silent cry

Empty vessels with a big ol' noise
The hunger for joy but the men stay boys
Wrapped in their ego
Base with ease
That you got to use your fists and your gun
To achieve
Enforced by the glory of the beautiful screens
With beautiful scenes
And beautiful screens

So how many tears must fall
When we all play a part
And we all could do more


If you′ve got no kind words to say
You should say nothing more at all
If you've got no kind words to say
You should say nothing more at all
If you′ve got no kind words to say
You should say nothing more at all
If you've got no kind words to say
You should say nothing more at all

Here we go merrily
Merrily we go
Same old sinner
Scenario
He took a blow now
She took a blow
Too late to fret now
Too late to show

If you've got no kind words to say
You should say nothing more at all

Empty vessels with a big ol′ noise
Empty vessels with a big ol′ noise
