Heirloom - Empty Below Lyrics

Does god turn their back on us
When we step away from them
Am I shouting to a deaf ear, when I kneel to pray

My words weren't sent to a deity
Did they ever leave these walls
I can't help but feel like I'm all by myself

I sure as hell don't feel used
Just feel like a waste of time (I'm a waste)
Where do I begin?
Have I even started yet

Glancing at our futures
Still stuck in the past
Lying to myself
Just to feel reassured

I can't help but feel like a waste of breath
I know I have a purpose
But haven't found it yet
No one above, empty below
So alone

Drowning underwater, trying to stay afloat
Reaching out for help, grabbing thin air
Can't seem to reach the surface

The end seems so far away
These trials never ending

These trials never ending
Always haunting me
I can't live this way anymore

I can't help but feel
Like a waste of breath
I know I have a purpose
But haven't found it yet
No one above, empty below
So alone in this life

I can't help but feel like a waste of breath
I know I have a purpose
But haven't found it yet
No one above, empty below
So alone

Lost in the valley
There were shadows of death
In the corner of my eye
I can't escape you yet
I was lost in the valley
There were shadows of death
Hanging from the pulpit
I can't see it
A book of nothing
