Empty Emotions

She didn't want me to hold her, so I had to let her go
Poverty into hospitality, still sleeping on the floor
I went fishing for a break but I only caught a charge
Trappin' to survive, awaiting a less than general discharge

Empty wallet and an empty stomach, destined to fail
Haunted with no luck, they wouldn't even feed me in jail
No heaven in sight, it must be a lifetime away
Hell more than visible, I see it everyday

Trying to feed my family with empty promises
But I can't even feed my self worth any confidence
Called me a bad man but I wish for a better life
Misery loves company, so pain became my wife

Stuck in reality where the sun is always sleeping
Show a smile but my tears are lost within shadows weeping
Focus on the hunger to forget a broken heart
Never would have let you go, if I could go back to the start
