Empty Cup
Verse 1
I’m trapped inside a nightmare, and I don’t think I’ll ever wake
Every time I cry out louder, the dream around me shrinks
Pulling tighter, holding harder, won’t even let me blink
It seems like life’s a test of what the universe can take
Chorus
It knocks you off your feet
Then it demands you get back up
And I return, and I return
Even with an empty cup
Verse 2
I’ve learned the way this nightmare works, I’ve learned it well by now
The harder that I struggle, the further it pulls me down
I’d shout for help, but shouting only drags me in deeper
So I’ll drown here in my sorrow and wait patiently for the reaper
Chorus
Bridge
So what’s left for you to take?
I’m down to bone and an empty cup
You keep knocking me down just to see
How many times I’ll get back up
Final Chorus
It knocks you off your feet
Then it demands you get back up
And I return, and I return
Even with an empty cup
Outro
And I return
Even with an empty cup
