Empty Life

This is a song i wrote called "Empty Life" - i know it sounds a bit harsh, but the lyrics are sort of just exaggerated - actually, it's a playful song: fun to sing and play on the piano... i actually find it to be one of the more challenging songs to perform of the songs i've written (and i still haven't gotten a perfect recording... i've done a lot of recordings and although the piano parts are a bit slow and not as good at some points, this one had the better vocals: as in the two Eb's at the end were up to my standard... and how often does that happen to me?) if i tried to get a more perfect recording, then that might have taken me another hour and my parents were starting to get a bit annoyed xD this song is a bit different than what i usually write, but i like it and i hope you like it, too! ENJOY! here are the lyrics:

How in the world does this ever seem to matter so much to me?
Give you my word - empty promise words are all they are to you
Play emotionless
Stay expressionless
Try to make it matter less
Left me in your emptiness

So smile if it means anything
You try to hide your thoughts inside
There in your empty life
Craving something living for
Never knowing anything more...
Then your empty life

I wanna know the little thoughts in your subborn mind
Cuz people the you let in are so hard to find
Lived in solitude
No one dares intrude
Does it do you good
To be never understood?

What does it take... to make you feel
Discover all the things you fail to see...
All the things you longed to be...
All the things you left concealed...

So smile if it means anything
You try to hide you thoughts inside
There in your empty life
Missing something living for
Never wanting anything more
Than to leave your empty life
