MY HANDS ARE EMPTY - Machine Head

Misery, cover me in waves

This heartache is slowly

Withering, I become her slave

Succumb to the darkness

Suffocating like I’m drowning in sand

Depression’s got me by her cold dead hands

Treachery, the choices you made

Cut my heart open with this golden blade

My hands are empty, lies so petty

My hands are empty, kill me gently

Medicate, I watched you slowly die

The powders and pills

Disintegrate, you right before my eyes

The emptiness haunts me

Glass reflections of a cold dead stare

Injesting chemicals of death with no care

Memories, they haunt me they stain

Of what you once meant to me before this pain

My hands are empty, lies so petty

My hands are empty, kill me gently

I, I will not hide these scars of mine

(Take away the shame)

I, I will not be what’s left behind

(Find someone else to blame)

Forgiveness, constricted

No longer human

A ghost in time

I, I will not hide these scars of mine

(Take away the shame)

I, I will not be what’s left behind

(Find someone else to blame)

Forgiveness, constricted

No longer human

A ghost in time

My hands are empty, lies so petty

My hands are empty, kill me gently

My hands are empty, lies so petty

My hands are empty, kill me gently
