FLOTSAM AND JETSAM
"Empty Air"
(Eric Braverman / Edward Carlson / Michael Gilbert / Kelly David Smith)

Feeling shellshocked,
Barbedwire ~ I'm torn apart,
Warheads, dead ends; parties only we attend,
The runaround, out of ground,
Your god damned sympathy wears me down!

I've spent my life reaching out to empty air,
Slipping faster all the time but no one seems to care!

Concrete breaks my fall,
Trouble, ten stories tall,
Sunshine, I can't sleep; just like my life on TV,
Church bells drowning me out; my ears ring, your favorite sound!

Clench my fists to strands that really don't exist,
I try not to fool myself but still I can't resist!

I've spent my life reaching out to empty air,
Slipping faster all the time but no one seems to care!

Clench my fists to strands that really don't exist,
I try not to fool myself but still I can't resist!

Blood born, my loss,
Nailed to more than just a cross,
Driven hard, brick fence,
My twenty first second chance,

Shellshocked
Barbedwire
Warheads
Your god damned sympathy
Concrete ten stories tall
Feeling shellshocked
Empty air
Empty air
