Empty​-​headed

from Haunting Ground by Elbury

lyrics

When all that's in there is furious chatter
Round and round I dwell on things that don't matter.
Unused retorts, in reserve, sharp verbal violence.
I won’t utter a word but you can be sure I think about it.

Me at my charming and quick-witted best
Fictitious existence going on inside my head.
Incisive lines, razor-sharp timing, inflection
Through twenty-five run-throughs, honed to perfection.

Today I'll be tied up a lot of the time in thinking.
Wrapped up in reverie, busy being critical.
I've got an afternoon planned, full of reflection.
Oh oh oh second-best-guessing.

So sick of wasting my time
With this grime
And I wonder whether you guys
Keep all of this inside.
So try to filter the noise,
Find a silent mind
Oh, now I'm empty

Even the daydreams weigh me down - in this scene, we wow the crowd,
3D and stereo sound.. Don't want to shake this.
But these dreams take up whole days,
Mind wanders everywhere
Behind my stare.

So sick of wasting my time
With this grime
And I wonder whether you guys
Keep all of this inside.
So try to filter the noise,
Find a silent mind
Oh, now I'm empty
