Empty Hands

[Verse 1] I sold the guitar to pay the rent I sold the car to pay for selling the guitar I sold the ring — it wasn't worth much Just gold and some words that didn't mean much [Pre-Chorus] Now I'm standing in the doorway Of a room I used to pray in [Chorus] I've got empty hands, empty hands Nothing left to hold and no more plans I used to be someone who used to be someone Now I'm just the shadow of the damage done Empty hands, empty hands Clapping for a show that's already done [Verse 2] I called my mother, she didn't pick up I called my brother, he's had enough I called the only number that still answers And it's just me, leaving messages for strangers [Pre-Chorus] Now I'm standing in the mirror Of a man I used to fear becoming [Chorus] I've got empty hands, empty hands Nothing left to hold and no more plans I used to be someone who used to be someone Now I'm just the shadow of the damage done Empty hands, empty hands Clapping for a show that's already done [Bridge — barely there, breaking] If you see me on the street Don't stop, don't speak I'm not the man you're looking for I'm just the ash I'm just the floor... [Final Chorus — whispered] Empty hands... empty hands... [Outro — silence, 10 seconds, then] ...hello?
