Sieges Even - These Empty Places Lyrics
One more time you find yourself huddled in silence.Nicotine mingles with a mimic's tear, tarnishing moments forlon...Remember the stages that you were compelled to wanderWhere ideas were devised, where the phantom of fameapproached like a brief encounter.Try to evoke the day...But memories are cold comfort for the mourning result of a long-forgotten cause.Passionless words defy the stage no moreThere's no applause, just a drunkard asking for encoreA silent audience of dust and desperationAs you remember certain faces that once engaged these empty places.With the fading light came desperate thoughts, as ifthe ghost of an urge rode a blatant breeze.And the wet ink on the paper blurred under your tears,just like water's clearness in the rush of the spray...Try to escape the day...And after all you will find out that it's all the samehow many footprints you've left in the soil.Empty eyes defy these empty hallsEmpty faces examine empty wallsEmpty words thrown in empty streamsEmpty places are the end of empty dreams.To be a whisper on the breeze, to be a stranger on violent seas,To see the world through orphaned eyes could be a missionBehind tangerine skies.For there's no importance in a dream of posthume fameAnd I don't want to be a fugitive repatriated, watchingthese empty places...
