Empty As Hell

It's like a sign - none of these pieces will fit

I'm out of time - no good arrangement to split

The items fray - each one I can't retrofit

The more I try - the more I should quit

Feeling in the worst ways

Only with the best things

Look at this shell

There's nothing inside

It's Empty as hell

I'm barely alive

Another day - rework my negative bent

I'll find a way - it's with the greatest intent

I went astray - it isn't what I had meant

The more I try - the more I should quit

Well I see why

I'm justified

Look at this shell

There's nothing inside

It's Empty as hell

I'm barely alive

Feeling in the worst ways

Only with the best things
