Empty Promise

Gold light upon my face

Encased by grace and chemicals

Won't lie, it's been a while since I was honest

45 and the sunsets slow

You climb upon my collarbone

False fires and compromise with no direction

The pages burn, the tables turn

And I'm starting over, will I learn?

I paid the cost, I held my loss

And I kept on running just to stop from coming undone

But I'm not made of stone

I am just skin and bone

And it's time I'm honest

I'm waiting on an empty promise

But I'm not made of stone

I am just skin and bone

And it's time I'm honest

I'm waiting on an empty promise

(I'm waiting on an empty promise)

Hold high what I do not know

And place myself in centerfold

Stoned bright and sinking like a cannonball

Watered eyes and dominos

I tried to fit inside your mould

Crystalised, better on my own (better on my own)

The pages burn, the tables turn

And I'm starting over, will I learn?

I paid the cost, I held my loss

And I kept on running just to stop from coming undone

But I'm not made of stone

I am just skin and bone

And it's time I'm honest

I'm waiting on an empty promise

But I'm not made of stone

I am just skin and bone

And it's time I'm honest

I'm waiting on an empty promise

(I'm waiting on an empty promise)

(I'm waiting on an empty promise)
