EMPTY TEARS


An actor without
A very first line
A blind man
Who sees that you are crying
Empty tears
Empty tears
A rented king
With a rusty crown
A stunt double savior
Who keeps falling down
With empty tears
Empty tears
You’d dry your eyes
But there’s nothing there
You’d dry your eyes
But there’s nothing there

A heart transplant
With a valentine
A laugh from a friend
As you lay dying
With empty tears
Empty tears
A leap of faith
‘cross and endless pit
A snake charmer tuning
After the snake has bit
With empty tears
Empty tears
You’d dry your eyes
But there’s nothing there
You’d dry your eyes
But there’s nothing there

Empty words
And empty lies
Fall from your lips
And fill your eyes
The very best tailor
Can’t fix this disguise
It’s empty tears
Cried for you and I
