Ring Empty
Hold me tighter here
I made this house for you
I wait it out in fear
That there’s nothing here you want to hold on to

And with all this noise in us
They are all you hear
A constant hum
They ring empty in your ears

And I hold you
With aching arms
So tight
My nails cut your skin

In your tired eyes
You don’t see me
I fight
Still waiting in the wings

I try
But they’re still ringing in your ears
