Empty

[00:08.53] Mirror mirror on the wall, yeah

[00:11.03] Tunnel vision on the flaws

[00:13.07] In the scale of things it’s unimportant

[00:15.82] So no talking, but it’s still an intrusive thought

[00:17.03] Tried hard to correct it, yeah

[00:18.78] But nothing was effective, uh

[00:20.83] No one else seemed so obsessed with it

[00:22.08] Things were desperate until the voice crept in

[00:24.06] "I can help you, trust me, you’re ready"

[00:26.53] It seemed dangerous

[00:29.53] But it said to have faith in it

[00:32.03] "The secret is to just be empty"

[00:36.53] Didn’t know if it was wise to listen, but

[00:38.36] What could it hurt to try?

[00:40.03] And at first, it was working

[00:41.59] But then things were emerging

[00:43.29] Cracked lips and tired eyes

[00:45.10] I’m hungry with no appetite

[00:47.31] I’m shivering and shaking, and I tell myself it’s fine, but

[00:51.29] You can’t fool your body, you can only fool your mind, yeah

[00:55.05] Empty

[00:56.81] I just need to be empty

[00:58.04] Hide from anybody who’ll prevent me

[00:59.78] Just fill up on water and shame

[01:01.53] No, I’m not hungry, I just ate

[01:03.54] I’ve developed a taste for this

[01:05.30] Endure the neverending ache

[01:07.03] Convince myself I’m in control and it’s not

[01:10.04] All that voice that makes me sick

[01:13.28] Inside it’s em-em-em-empty

[01:17.03] I know, I know it’s wrong

[01:18.33] I’m looking, but I can’t see myself

[01:20.04] Inside it’s em-em-em-empty

[01:26.80] I know, I know it’s wrong

[01:27.30] But it’s so hard to stop it alone

[01:29.55] Been getting even worse

[01:30.80] All the days begin to merge, yeah

[01:32.34] Just a blurry haze and now it’s

[01:33.82] Almost second nature to ignore the urges

[01:35.52] Can’t trust my own nature

[01:36.58] Every calorie a failure

[01:40.57] Gotta push the intake down every day

[01:42.10] ‘Cause the voice comes back to say

[01:44.28] "You want to eat? Bite your tongue"

[01:48.28] Don’t want to stay an embarrassment

[01:50.53] Just have to stomach it

[01:52.54] "They don't know what you want"

[01:57.80] A tug of war against common sense

[01:58.58] Don’t wanna believe that I’ve overstepped

[02:01.30] But it’s so overwhelming

[02:02.04] And I hope no one can tell

[02:03.80] ‘Cause the numbers keep decreasing

[02:06.03] This ordeal is becoming routine, check

[02:08.53] Arms, back, neck, thighs

[02:10.53] Suck it in and pinch my sides

[02:12.29] The scales are betraying me

[02:14.05] The mirror is a lie, yeah

[02:16.29] Numbers

[02:17.53] It all comes down to numbers

[02:18.78] I know it’s wrong but

[02:19.80] Just because you know you’re colorblind

[02:21.78] Doesn’t mean you can see the colors

[02:23.29] Fine, I admit I’m addicted

[02:25.53] But the hunger feels good, how do I quit this

[02:27.28] I know I could die, I’ve seen the statistics

[02:32.32] But the voice is with me through thick and thin

[02:34.78] Inside it’s em-em-em-empty

[02:37.79] I know, I know it’s wrong

[02:39.28] I’m looking, but I can’t see myself

[02:41.79] Inside it’s em-em-em-empty

[02:45.54] I know, I know it’s wrong

[02:47.03] But it’s so hard to stop it alone

[02:49.59] Inside it’s em-em-em-empty

[02:53.33] I know, I know it’s wrong

[02:54.79] I’m looking, but I can’t see myself

[02:57.54] Inside it’s em-em-em-empty

[03:01.28] I know, I know it’s wrong

[03:02.78] But it’s so hard to stop it alone

[03:09.55] I can reach out

[03:11.04] To someone not like me

[03:13.79] If you ask for help, it doesn’t make you weak

[03:17.53] I can reach out

[03:19.53] To someone not like me

[03:21.79] I can help my mind learn to trust my body

[03:25.78] I can reach out

[03:27.29] To someone not like me

[03:29.57] If you ask for help, it doesn’t make you weak

[03:33.28] I can reach out

[03:34.53] Ignore what the voice tells me

[03:37.28] I can help my mind learn to trust my body

[03:41.32] Inside it’s em-em-em-empty

[03:44.55] I know, I know it’s wrong

[03:46.61] I’m looking, but I can’t see myself

[03:49.33] Inside it’s em-em-em-empty

[03:52.53] I know, I know it’s wrong

[03:55.05] But it’s so hard to stop it alone

[03:57.53] Inside it’s em-em-em-empty

[04:00.79] I can reach out (I can reach out oh-oh-oh-oh)

[04:05.28] Inside it’s em-em-em-empty

[04:09.79] I can reach out (I can reach out)
