The Emptiest Day

They say You live in hospitals and trenches
And towers in the sky
And I'm not dying or fighting any wars
Except on the insideThe only thing I need is a void that You can fill
And I jump ship and run even further in Your willAnd I am looking for the well that won't run dry
The rest that weary thoughts cannot deny
When You wrap Your arms around me
I can walk away or face the emptiest dayThe words I find impossible to mention
Are written on a star
They say that I can find You in a flower
But I need You in the carThe optimism of my youth is dead and gone
But I'll save these speculations for another time and songAnd life is only perceived through chemicals and emotion
But love, love is the island that overgrows the ocean
