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)
