About the Song
All too often, people spend lots of time pursuing things that they believe will fulfil their lives only to find themselves dreadfully empty.

Lyrics
Too far for granted, she took her luck
gotta make that buck.
Too many nights thinking about the bills
so many holes to fill.
Lost in the cards, they all look the same
Chips with embroidered names.
For a couple of c-notes and a couple of hours,
the Empty is gone with so very many powers.
I can’t seem to stop from running empty.
I feel alot like I’m running empty.
He met them all at the same corner bar;
a drink can go pretty far.
Some snappy lines to catch a lipstick smile
for his black book 47 file.
He tells himself that its not his fault,
it takes two to play ball.
But the Empty is not so forgiving
of a life that’s not worth living.
I can’t seem to stop from running empty.
I feel alot like I’m running empty.
