two partial songs collided to complete this song of melancholy, loss and desire. something in the word play intrigued me and i liked the determination of hope to bring down the walls. that is just so deep. have a lozenge.
lyrics
empty walls
i clutch the captive memory as i crawl across your sands
we're just a half from empty that's a feeling you can't stand
over all the hands we double when we treble cross the land
we're the pins for pretty bubbles, we're the capsule left unmanned
four empty walls
come falling down
four empty walls
come falling down
i trade the wind for embers from the third last cigarette
and i trace the anxious shadows as you leave in silhouette
i'm cut and running quarters, my two bits of blood to let
just following disorders, every sucker needs a bet
four empty walls
come falling down
four empty walls
come falling down
and all the things you've said and done
the likely tales, the kingdom come
the crashing rain, the beating drum
that sounds the toll of moon and sun
surpassing light or darkness runs
the threads of hope that could be spun
take heart, behold, you've just begun
find love in life my lonely one
four empty walls
come falling down
four empty walls
come falling down
