empty is my world…
empty is my world
empty is my world
without you
empty is my world…
empty is my world
empty is my world
without you

somewhere in the stars
way out there past mars
there’s a beacon in the sky
and it’s callin’
sends it’s best to you
all it says is true
when the time is right
they’ll be comin’

empty is my world…
empty is my world
empty is my world
without you
empty is my world…
empty is my world
empty is my world
without you

tell it to your soul
the part of you that knows
that the voices in the sky
have been callin’
something we don’t know
in the distant shadow glows
we are in their sights
they’ve been watchin’

empty is my world…
empty is my world
empty is my world
without you
empty is my world…
empty is my world
empty is my world
without you

(bridge)
in the silence of the night
when they reach out
gonna feel it in your bones
getting closer every day
without a doubt
hope is movin’ in
will we be foe or friend?

empty is my world…
empty is my world
empty is my world
without you
empty is my world…
empty is my world
empty is my world
without you

Btw…For those who may be curious…This was written as a take on what a friendly message from an extra-terrestrial intelligence might be if decoded…And human reflection on what such an experience might be like…The friendly and rather lonely alien message…Empty is my world…without you…

pray me not to die
i can’t stop this feeling
won’t somebody tell me?
before i fade to grey

go ahead and watch me cry
but don’t dry my tears now
‘cause maybe they heal me
as they run down my face

(chorus)
and the long days night goes on too long
where the darkness hides it’s bitter face
the pain goes on and on and on
and i’m feeling somehow out of place
the time keeps passing by unseen
the clock is but a shadow there
if you still don’t know just what i mean
can you mean the words you say you swear?

it’s time to walk away
but what is the meaning?
no i really can’t hear you
what did you say?

so do you know me now?
more than you wanted
seems i’m lost in a feeling
and i can’t find my way

(repeat chorus)

wouldn’t change a thing
don’t want to see a different face in the mirror
it’s really all the same
each passing day
gets clearer and clearer

follow me
if you will…if you want to
follow me
up that higher hill
follow me
we can stand on the heights and look down
on my nobility

wouldn’t cast a shine
on any other place in the matrix
i live it all the time
i see the hours
falling all over me

follow me
if you will…if you want to
follow me
up that higher hill
follow me
we can stand on the heights and look down
on my nobility

take away the veil of civility
take away the lie of the frame
take away the smart decorations
you’ll see
whatever you see

follow me
if you will…if you want to
follow me
up that higher hill
follow me
we can stand on the heights and look down
on my nobility
