Emptiness Song from EMPTINESSES by Big Best Friend

The world lives and we also live kind of inside of it
I walk outside, see summer light
Hear old thunder’s on the way

Strip me back, I mean
Cut my hair and send me off
To the waterlogged old-high-school-cars in the dump yard full of fire
cuz that’s me

Strip me back, I mean
Take my eyes and send me off
To the world outside cuz there’s no world inside
I’m full of absences

But my antlers aren’t enough
To block out this world’s love
And cold heart

Emptiness is made by callused men, like me

I’m the star of my home when I’m all alone
In the keyboard dust, pullin’ sweatpants up
I’m in the thick of it

And the sleeping pills and not sleeping pills
I’m in the thick of it

But my antlers aren’t enough
To block out all your love

Emptiness is made by callused men, it’s invented

The world lives and we also live kind of inside of it
I walk outside, see summer light
Hear your thunder’s on the way

But my antlers aren’t enough
To block out all this love
So I’d better settle in

Emptiness is made by calloused men
With cold hearts
