LYRIC FOR SALE

By Aleah Taylor

Verse 1
Reaching under covers in the dark
Searching out every window I pass
I find nothing
It’s just empty space
So I continue to chase
I continue to pace
And I long to see your face

Staring at the ground as they talk
Hearing loudly every tick of the clock
I feel nothing
It’s just empty space
So I continue to race
The demons you chase
And I long to see your face

Chorus
You keep it hidden from us all
But we sense it’s thick presence
You hold this great weight and you haul
Forever lagging
Forever dragging
Your deep empty space

Verse 2
Moving like a ghost floats in the dark
Searching for a well timed remark
I find nothing
But your empty space
And I just can’t chase
Can’t keep up this pace
Just to lose a finished race

Wishing for dead silence as they talk
Hearing every word an invasive squawk
I feel nothing
But your empty space
It’s like I can’t face
The demons I chase
And I’ll never win this race

Chorus
You keep it hidden from us all
But we sense it’s thick presence
You hold this great weight and you haul
Forever lagging
Forever dragging
Your deep empty space

Bridge
Can’t you let me understand you
For my own selfishness
Can’t you let me wrap around you
Like a kind nemesis
Like an enemy
Who hurts to love you

Chorus
You keep it hidden from us all
But we sense it’s thick presence
You hold this great weight and you haul
Forever lagging
Forever dragging
Your deep empty space
