Let Babylon Burn - Empty

The room stands still, but the walls keep time, I count the seconds till they turn to years
You took the light, left the shadows behind, Now even the daylight feels cold in here
What do
I do with the space where love burned, When
I still come home, but you don't return
It's so empty, so empty in here, Just a faded memory that won't disappear
Your coat's still hanging, your shoes by the door— How can you be gone when this room's still yours
Yeah, it's so lonely… So lonely in here
People in the street ask how
I've been, Like
I should be ready to live again
I've held the dying, seen life leave their eyes;
Don't hand me your bullshit and call it advice
When evening comes and the whole world goes still, I face what the daylight helps me conceal
It's so empty, so empty in here, Just a faded memory that won't disappear
Your coat's still hanging, your shoes by the door— How can you be gone when this room's still yours
Yeah, it's so lonely… So lonely in here
But nobody gets to take this fire from me;
I'll find my way, even if
I can't see
Let the fat cats count their money behind locked doors
I've still got time for the ones they ignore
I know what it is
To need someone to stay
It's so empty, so empty in here, Just a faded memory that won't disappear
Your coat's still hanging, your shoes by the door— How can you be gone when this room's still yours and
I call out your name, though there's no answer there
So much
I never told you, now
I tell the air.
If
I have to move forward, the hurt can come too
I'm learning to live… But
I won't forget you
So empty… so empty in here.
I close my eyes… and you're still here
So empty… but my heart beats on.
I don't know where
I'm going… but
I walk on
Only echoes now…
And this heart… Still beating
