Empty Hands

Verse 1

I want it now

Before the moon decides to hide

Take what you want

Don't leave a single thing inside

Peel me back like winter skin

Layer after layer letting go

Pre-Chorus

I'm not afraid of the dark you bring

I'm not afraid of the wreck you'd leave

Chorus

Strip everything away

Leave me with nothing

Empty hands are honest hands

I want it now

I want it now

Give me the ache the ache the ache

Post-Chorus

Take take take it all

Take take take it all

Verse 2

Your mouth a verdict on my throat

Your fingers counting every bone

I signed my name in fading ink

A careful ruin I can't disown

Let the wanting swallow me whole

Let the silence say the rest

Pre-Chorus

I'm not afraid of the shape I'll be

I'm not afraid of the hollow me

Chorus

Strip everything away

Leave me with nothing

Empty hands are honest hands

I want it now

I want it now

Give me the ache the ache the ache

Post-Chorus

Take take take it all

Take take take it all

Bridge

Undress the years

Undress the fear

I laid it down in candlelight

A trembling offer at your feet

Nothing left but appetite

Chorus

Strip everything away

Leave me with nothing

Empty hands are honest hands

I want it now

I want it now

Give me the ache the ache the ache

Post-Chorus

Take take take it all

Take take take it all
