Transient - Empty Well lyrics

rate me

Where do I dig for inspiration

When all my wells have run dry

All the water has been wasted on

those who can’t survive.

How can I sing so many songs

about a love I have never known

Have I been sacrificing substance

for the sake of a good tone?

I think sometimes I’d rather scream it all

than to let a note of truth shine through

It seems much easier to live a lie

than to tell the truth to you

[And I can’t stop

out of the blue]

Where am I, to plant my crops, in a land that has no soil?

What if I drill down deep, for miles and miles, and still not strike oil?

Who will grab my hand,and pull me up, when I reach the other side?

And when I’m old and gray, tired and frail, who then will be my bride?

When I go to bed, and sleep at night, questions plague my mind

I close my eyes, pray to God, that His answers I might find

I can’t believe there was no God who made this earth in whole

who stitched my veins, hung my bones, and filled my empty soul

I will sing this song a thousand times for what it's worth

I will scream this line until my lungs collapse or when I leave the earth
