your empty words have no meaning,
they only sound pleasant.
they are supposed to be calming:
your pacifying presents
then you bestow these terms of woe-
to try and make my "dumb" brain grow
then you bestow,
then you bestow,
your thoughts and feelings- so hollow

your empty words have no meaning
if you've no intention.
without one they go careening
off into pretention.
wreaking havoc and laying waste
until compassion's been defaced.
wreaking havoc,
wreaking havoc,
on love, humility and grace.

your empty words have no meaning
when I asked for silence
a moment of sweet peace ringing
on the bell of your pretense
I tried to hear the grass growing
behind you preaching onward, hollow
I tried to hear
I tried to hear
the sun rising on tomorrow
