Machine Head - My Hands Are Empty

Misery, cover me in waves
This heartache is slowly
Withering, I become her slave
Succumb to the darkness

Suffocating like I'm drowning in sand
Depression's got me by her cold dead hands
Treachery, the choices you made
Cut my heart open with this golden blade

My hands are empty, lies so petty
My hands are empty, kill me gently

Medicate, I watched you slowly die
The powders and pills
Disintegrate, you right before my eyes
The emptiness haunts me

Glass reflections of a cold dead stare
Injesting chemicals of death with no care
Memories, they haunt me they stain
Of what you once meant to me before this pain

My hands are empty, lies so petty
My hands are empty, kill me gently

I, I will not hide these scars of mine
(Take away the shame)
I, I will not be what's left behind
(Find someone else to blame)
Forgiveness, constricted
No longer human
A ghost in time

I, I will not hide these scars of mine
(Take away the shame)
I, I will not be what's left behind
(Find someone else to blame)
Forgiveness, constricted
No longer human
A ghost in time

My hands are empty, lies so petty
My hands are empty, kill me gently
My hands are empty, lies so petty
My hands are empty, kill me gently
