Empty are my words
Empty is my soul
Empty is my stomach
Empty is my bowl
My tumor is my essence
And I need it taken out
I need rid of this burden
The mass all full of doubt
They pump me full of medicine
That sinks right to my feet
Since now my body's hollow
I'm lost and incomplete
The 11th floor it haunts me
It infiltrates the present
Grown up problems I must fix
With teams from adolescent
I take my candy with no sugar
A spoonful every night
It's bitter down my throat
But I don't mind the bite
If that sweetness hits my void
I fish it out with fingers
No place for it inside me
The taste its taunts and lingers
Within I challenge demons
Who stare back at me in mirrors
My hair is cursed with weakness
My skin is plagued with shivers
Refuge is a fantasy
My threat it is my fare
My brain it is exhausted
My heart is raw and bear

Empty are my words
Empty is my soul
Empty is my stomach
Empty is my bowl
My tumor is my essence
And I need it taken out
I need rid of this burden
The mass all full of doubt
They pump me full of medicine
That sinks right to my feet
Since now my body's hollow
I'm lost and incomplete
The 11th floor it haunts me
It infiltrates the present
Grown up problems I must fix
With teams from adolescent
I take my candy with no sugar
A spoonful every night
It's bitter down my throat
But I don't mind the bite
If that sweetness hits my void
I fish it out with fingers
No place for it inside me
The taste its taunts and lingers
Within I challenge demons
Who stare back at me in mirrors
My hair is cursed with weakness
My skin is plagued with shivers
Refuge is a fantasy
My threat it is my fare
My brain it is exhausted
My heart is raw and bear
