Empty
[00:09.00] Mirror mirror on the wall, yeah
[00:10.26] Tunnel vision on the flaws
[00:11.51] In the scale of things it’s unimportant
[00:13.24] So no talking, but it’s still an intrusive thought
[00:15.27] Tried hard to correct it, yeah
[00:17.49] But nothing was effective, uh
[00:19.25] No one else seemed so obsessed with it
[00:21.24] Things were desperate until the voice crept in
[00:23.28] "I can help you, trust me, you’re ready"
[00:28.00] It seemed dangerous
[00:29.99] But it said to have faith in it
[00:31.48] "The secret is to just be empty"
[00:35.51] Didn’t know if it was wise to listen, but
[00:37.97] What could it hurt to try?
[00:39.04] And at first, it was working
[00:41.01] But then things were emerging
[00:43.03] Cracked lips and tired eyes
[00:44.77] I’m hungry with no appetite
[00:47.01] I’m shivering and shaking, and I tell myself it’s fine, but
[00:51.26] You can’t fool your body, you can only fool your mind, yeah
[00:55.29] Empty
[00:56.01] I just need to be empty
[00:57.28] Hide from anybody who’ll prevent me
[00:59.54] Just fill up on water and shame
[01:01.52] No, I’m not hungry, I just ate
[01:03.28] I’ve developed a taste for this
[01:05.05] Endure the neverending ache
[01:06.45] Convince myself I’m in control and it’s not
[01:08.94] All that voice that makes me sick
[01:13.54] Inside it’s em-em-em-empty
[01:16.81] I know, I know it’s wrong
[01:18.23] I’m looking, but I can’t see myself
[01:21.30] Inside it’s em-em-em-empty
[01:24.29] I know, I know it’s wrong
[01:26.29] But it’s so hard to stop it alone
[01:28.65] Been getting even worse
[01:30.17] All the days begin to merge, yeah
[01:32.15] Just a blurry haze and now it’s
[01:33.29] Almost second nature to ignore the urges
[01:36.04] Can’t trust my own nature
[01:38.29] Every calorie a failure
[01:40.54] Gotta push the intake down every day
[01:42.48] ‘Cause the voice comes back to say
[01:44.22] "You want to eat? Bite your tongue"
[01:48.73] Don’t want to stay an embarrassment
[01:50.47] Just have to stomach it
[01:52.23] "They don't know what you want"
[01:55.98] A tug of war against common sense
[01:57.99] Don’t wanna believe that I’ve overstepped
[01:59.48] But it’s so overwhelming
[02:01.72] And I hope no one can tell
[02:03.73] ‘Cause the numbers keep decreasing
[02:05.22] This ordeal is becoming routine, check
[02:07.97] Arms, back, neck, thighs
[02:09.98] Suck it in and pinch my sides
[02:11.47] The scales are betraying me
[02:13.48] The mirror is a lie, yeah
[02:15.50] Numbers
[02:16.74] It all comes down to numbers
[02:17.99] I know it’s wrong but
[02:19.23] Just because you know you’re colorblind
[02:21.22] Doesn’t mean you can see the colors
[02:23.73] Fine, I admit I’m addicted
[02:24.95] But the hunger feels good, how do I quit this
[02:27.21] I know I could die, I’ve seen the statistics
[02:29.43] But the voice is with me through thick and thin
[02:34.24] Inside it’s em-em-em-empty
[02:37.23] I know, I know it’s wrong
[02:38.97] I’m looking, but I can’t see myself
[02:41.94] Inside it’s em-em-em-empty
[02:45.45] I know, I know it’s wrong
[02:46.66] But it’s so hard to stop it alone
[02:52.94] Inside it’s em-em-em-empty
[02:53.40] I know, I know it’s wrong
[02:54.63] I’m looking, but I can’t see myself
[02:57.63] Inside it’s em-em-em-empty
[03:00.90] I know, I know it’s wrong
[03:02.39] But it’s so hard to stop it alone
[03:08.65] I can reach out
[03:11.40] To someone not like me
[03:13.11] If you ask for help, it doesn’t make you weak
[03:16.86] I can reach out
[03:19.12] To someone not like me
[03:21.36] I can help my mind learn to trust my body
[03:24.83] I can reach out
[03:26.82] To someone not like me
[03:29.36] If you ask for help, it doesn’t make you weak
[03:32.62] I can reach out
[03:34.36] Ignore what the voice tells me
[03:36.90] I can help my mind learn to trust my body
[03:41.36] Inside it’s em-em-em-empty
[03:44.36] I know, I know it’s wrong
[03:45.69] I’m looking, but I can’t see myself
[03:48.94] Inside it’s em-em-em-empty
[03:51.91] I know, I know it’s wrong
[03:53.43] But it’s so hard to stop it alone
[03:57.17] Inside it’s em-em-em-empty
[03:59.67] I can reach out (I can reach out oh-oh-oh-oh)
[04:04.43] Inside it’s em-em-em-empty
[04:07.87] I can reach out (I can reach out)
