Empty Promise

Gold light upon my face
Encased by grace and chemicals
Won't lie, it's been a while since I was honest
45 and the sunsets slow
You climb upon my collarbone
False fires and compromise with no direction

The pages burn, the tables turn
And I'm starting over, will I learn?
I paid the cost, I held my loss
And I kept on running just to stop from coming undone

But I'm not made of stone
I am just skin and bone
And it's time I'm honest
I'm waiting on an empty promise

But I'm not made of stone
I am just skin and bone
And it's time I'm honest
I'm waiting on an empty promise

(I'm waiting on an empty promise)

Hold high what I do not know
And place myself in centerfold
Stoned bright and sinking like a cannonball
Watered eyes and dominos
I tried to fit inside your mould
Crystalised, better on my own (better on my own)

The pages burn, the tables turn
And I'm starting over, will I learn?
I paid the cost, I held my loss
And I kept on running just to stop from coming undone

But I'm not made of stone
I am just skin and bone
And it's time I'm honest
I'm waiting on an empty promise

But I'm not made of stone
I am just skin and bone
And it's time I'm honest
I'm waiting on an empty promise

(I'm waiting on an empty promise)
(I'm waiting on an empty promise)
