Empty Rooms (Demo) Lyrics

Tonight's the night I've been waiting for

I'm ready to go, ready to play some more

Gonna hop on the stage and have my say

Let everyone know this is my day

But as I creep through the door

I see barely any feet on the floor

Oh God, am I playing to an empty room

Well, this can't be, it's just the start

I'm not letting the worry settle in my heart

I'm ready, come on yeah, you gotta give me a shot

Let me shine here in my own spot

But as the time wears on

People wave, then they're gone

Oh God, I'm playing to an empty room

This isn't the first time I've had to take a hit on my own dime

And everybody's stuff is better than mine anyways

So why should you stick around to hear the same five songs

The night gets deeper and the cars pass by

Yet again, I'm asking myself why

I'm playing these chords for no one

Just the barkeep and I, until it's done

But that's the risk we take

When all we do is try to make our mark

Here in this world

Even if you just create

You gotta know, there's no escape

Sometimes we all play to empty rooms
