Empty Spaces
CARL WILLIAM BELL
Mister, could you maybe lend a hand
To help a drowning, starving, soulless man?
Whose eyes are blind and feelings all but numb
Whose ears are also deaf and mouth is dumb
This is the way, is the way
I fill your spaces now
It's the way, it's the way
Cause all that's been left for me
Is to fight to fill these empty spaces now
Nigh t is day and day is night again
And all that's eating bites with toothy grins
The pages of my memory torn in twain
Where reconstructing lies could not contain
This is the way, is the way
I fill your spaces now
It's the way, it's the way
Cause all that's been left for me
Is to fight to fill these empty spaces now
