Empty Songtext

von JD & The Straight Shot

Goin' to the river to cleanse my soul
Goin' to the river cause it's black as coal

Shame and regret are my home
Work my fingers to the bone

I'm empty as a promise...
I'm hungry in my bones...
Empty, but I'm honest...
Honestly alone.

Man can't live on bread alone
Can't take back the seeds I've sown

Fourty days and fourty nights
Could not tempt the Canaanites

In this desert, all alone
All my sins I will atone

I'm empty as a promise...
I'm hungry in my bones...
Empty, but I'm honest...
Honestly alone.

Goin' to the river to cleanse my soul
Goin' to the river cause it's black as coal

Shame and regret are my home
Work my fingers to the bone

I'm empty as a promise...
I'm hungry in my bones...

Empty, but I'm honest...
I'm hungry in my bones...

Empty, but I'm honest...
Honestly alone.
