The Empty Space Inside A Ring Lyrics

The void is getting closer

The table's turning over

Drowning in the slaughter of

Heartache's ocean water

Cable's favorite cliche

The wedding ball and chain

The curse of men who bring pain

And women saddled with angst

Dressed up in their wallet's best

Their families are so impressed

Never mind the avarice

Mounting debt, and creeping stress

The void is getting closer

The table's turning over

Drowning in the slaughter of

Heartache's ocean water

I never saved a dime

'Till I was almost twenty-nine

Read the books, they say we're fine

But tension's growing night by night

Feeling close, I might implode

Melting down, spill on the road

I was apprehensive

At the time

And now we know that I was right

And Kaitlyn's tide

Will bear tonight

Wash away the dirt and grime

Leaving deeper scars behind than

Erosion sent before her time. Now

Kaitlyn's tide

Will bear tonight

The burden of my current life

Now I finally have to pay the price for

Livin' on convenient lies. The

Void is getting closer

The table's turning over

Drowning in the slaughter of

Heartache's ocean water
