Empty Room Lyrics

Ain't no sunshine, ain't no good time

I feel the weight of it all

Ain't no gold mines, only flat lines

It's just the silence of it all, it speaks volumes

I'll wait for you, in this empty room I will

Staring at my mortality, pay my salary

These calories counting backwards from zero

Hero galleries, maladies of the soul control folds like a fallacy

Staring at my son, sun sets on another galaxy

But Alex he thought he had a chance to dance

Assault and battery had to be, life force was draining gradually

He couldn't take another day and we stayed away tragically

If we had, ya see, we'd have seen that he was living unhappily

Ain't no sunshine, ain't no good time

I feel the weight of it all

Ain't no gold mines, only flat lines

It's just the silence of it all, it speaks volumes

I'll wait for you, in this empty room I will

Party's over we losing too many soldiers

I told ya that time is ticking on, we staring at the horror

Realizing that we're older, nobody's gonna hold ya

As ya give the boat man a quarter, ready to cross over

I'm paddling for my life, in the living room on the sofa

Sharp wit like a knife in a gun fight when the shootings over

The poetry I write, I won't recite when you come over

Cause I'm resting in the fire but my extremities are getting colder

Ain't no sunshine, ain't no good time, I feel the weight of it all…
