Empty Walls - Matt Lange

I took the pictures down

And drew the vacant space in slow

I threw the cuts out

And the other memories I’ve stored

I’ve washed the sheets ten times

But I still see your hair

And down the hallway

These empty walls stare at me bare

I watched our castle

As it crumbled into dust

I tried to hang on

But it all fell through my fingertips

I pace back and forth

Not knowing where to turn

I’m so gutted

Deserted and disarrayed, I’m torn

I am hollowed out and bare

I am the same, degrading here

I am wrapped in hearts decay

I am empty like the walls

And once the storm passed

I begged for your return

I spoke in your tongue

And you said you needed time

So here I sit now

Staring at the wall

Counting the hours

So I can hang our frames back up

I am hollowed out and bare

I am the same, degrading here

I am hollowed out and bare

I am the same, degrading here

I am wrapped in hearts decay

I am empty like the walls
