Empty Nest Letra

not the wars of our fathers
this blood soaked ground's been dry for years
but we can't walk down that path
we must pave our own

it's hard to believe the youth lay their bodies down
for those they have not met
they risked everything, for someone like me
but i use these breaths for nothing worth repeating

i need something i can die for here
will you show me?

we're all so faut like rubberbands
so wound up, unwind!

these days i get so frustrated with my loved ones
i cry out, cry out

for something to come and return what a boy once believed in

i can see that my father is falling apart, while my mother sews
my father is falling apart, but my mother sows

life is flying by, these days pass like minutes
soon seconds won't exist

capture these moments through glass, but don't forget to
live each existence

i put all my faith in water expecting
some kind of solace

we speak disguised empty words to each other
let's just use our hearts

grasses will always been greener until we realize
to see this world through closed eyes
