Hello, my name is Empty

I know that you can't see me

I am a hollow inside a heart

Of a person who is empty

                                                    I make the heart cry out

                                      Long and loud from the host's own mouth

                                          It's a deep and soul-wrenching song

                                                When I make the heart cry out

                                                                                                             I'm a painful empty

                                                                                          I hurt, for a thing that's nothing

                                                                      I'm sharp pain, dull ache, and in between

                                                                                                            Just a painful empty

                                                   I should prob'ly feel bad

                               The pain I cause shadows any you have had

                                          But because I'm empty I don't feel

                                                      And so I don't feel bad

Hello, my name is Empty

You may never really see me

But I'm settled beneath the skin

Of a person who is empty
