about

This song is about giving up. It's about getting sick of being hopeful and always looking to the horizon. This song came from one of those circumstances where giving up was the right thing to do.

lyrics

these hands are shaking
and this throat is raw
this mind's been haunted too long

with a heart full of hollow
and a mouthful of choked
I empty these pockets of a cold dead hope

throw a glass backwards
and it's obvious
little inconsistencies shatter into empty

with a heart full of hollow
and a mouthful of choked
I empty these pockets of a cold dead hope

these eyes awaken
soft early dawn
this mind's been haunted too long

with a heart full of hollow
and a mouthful of choked
I empty these pockets of a cold dead hope

with a heart full of hollow
and a mouthful of choked
I empty these pockets of a dead wet hope
