about

Empty Handed was the second single from Monsters, released with A River Loves a Stone as the b-side, in June 2019. It was re-recorded with acoustic drums for the album, in 2020. This is the original, fully electronic version.

lyrics

My heart is an empty vessel
Drifting out to sea
I try my best to be
What you want me to be.

You can try and help me
You could drown me gently
You could tell me all of the things that
I want you to say

And you
You could walk away
Empty handed.

I hear running water
Hear you knocking on the door.
I spent an hour or more
Just lying on the bathroom floor.

You can try and help me
You could drown me gently
You could tell me all of the things that
I want you to say

And you
You could walk away
Empty handed

The wave that came has broken
And the void has swallowed me
A door before me stands ajar
I thought I'd run but I'm not free.

You can try and help me
You could drown me gently
You could tell me all of the things that
I want you to say

And you
You could walk away
Empty handed
