Текст песни: Empty Bottles + перевод

truth all spilled out on the floor,

loved her dearly but I just got tired

couldn’t play along no more.

All the painful ghosts we’ve locked inside

build the castles we defend.

The more we long to be loved, the more we hide

it comes to haunt us in the end

and I know that I can’t save her

with any cross that I might bear

for the truth is in the end

I have broken my heart to save myself

from hidden wounds that will not mend.

Empty promises, unspoken threats

years she’d hide when daddy called,

empty bottles lying on the floor

in the closet down the hall,

I could never start to fill the breach

of all that he could never be.

I might as well just go down to the beach

and try to fill the open sea

and I know that it’s a weakness

and he deserves my sympathy

and I believe in mercy mild

but it’s so hard when the sins

of the fathers and their kin

are visited upon the child.

Tears and angry words and plans on fire,

hidden wounds that will not mend,

empty bottles lying on the floor

come to haunt us in the end.
