Empty Man

Staring down the barrel of hypocrisy
Your eyes light up as I collect my fee
You said your prayers, you had that time
When I got paid, your life was mine

Dance with the demons, day by day
On my way to hell, that's what they say
Cuz I ain't perfect, not the chosen one
I'll find my peace when I'm buried and done

I have no regrets, I have no pain
I have no sorrows, I have no blame
This is how I choose to be
I have nothing
Just a soul crying out in shame

Look in my eyes, see a black hole
Staring back at you with an empty soul
I got a big heart, its made of stone
Walk a straight line on a crooked road

I serve myself, and no one else
Play my own cards, not what I'm dealt
See my face, you think I care
Behind my mask, there's nothing there

I have no regrets, I have no pain
I have no sorrows, I have no blame
This is how I choose to be
I have nothing
Just a soul crying out in shame

I'm an empty man
I'm an empty man
That is all I am, that is all I have

Standing at the gates of heaven and hell
Turned me away cuz you know me well
"Don't come here, its not your time
Go back to earth and live your lies."
