[Verse 1]
Mama's scrubs still smell like antiseptic dreams
Another twelve-hour shift, she barely breathes
Used to hold me close when things got rough
Now six feet feels like it ain't far enough
Empty hands, sanitized and cold
Story of survival never gets old
[Pre-Chorus]
They say distance makes the heart grow fonder
But my skin's forgetting what it's like to wander
Into someone else's warmth at night
Damn, I miss those arms that held me tight
[Chorus]
Empty hands reaching out for something real
Empty hands, can't remember how to feel
Touch became a luxury we can't afford
Empty hands knocking on a bolted door
(Empty hands, empty hands)
[Verse 2]
Grandma's stories 'bout back home in JA
Where people held each other through the hardest days
Now we're living in a different kind of fear
Where loving means staying far, not staying near
Remember Sunday mornings, choir sang so sweet
Now screens and masks are all our eyes can meet
[Pre-Chorus]
They say this shit won't last forever
But my body's getting used to never
Feeling skin against my own
In this concrete, glass, and chrome
[Chorus]
Empty hands reaching out for something real
Empty hands, can't remember how to feel
Touch became a luxury we can't afford
Empty hands knocking on a bolted door
(Empty hands, empty hands)
[Bridge]
Sometimes I catch myself
Dancing alone in my room
Pretending these walls ain't closing in
Humming hymns to chase away the gloom
But f*ck, I'm tired of being strong
When everything feels so damn wrong
[Outro]
Empty hands (reaching, reaching)
Empty hands (healing, healing)
Maybe someday soon
We'll remember how to touch again
But for now, these empty hands
Just keep reaching into darkness
(Empty hands, empty hands)
