High On Empty
©2009 Lisa Horan

Another Friday party night
Pass the glasses
Pour the wine

Dial up the conversation
Subdue reflection
Drown frustration

Hide the blurred existence
The plastic mess
And the thought
That this is as good as it gets

Chorus
High on empty
Living in trivial overload
High on empty
Stuck in superficial mode
Superficial mode

Monday morning rise and shine
Another day
Another dime

Work to live and live for me
Eyes on the surface
Turn away from the deep

Choke the shouting conscience
The voice within
Embrace the sleek facade
Make love to the sin

Chorus

Bridge
Somewhere
Swimming in self-fixation
Somewhere
Lives a revelation
Of a life of meaning

Somewhere
Behind blinded eyes
Somewhere
Hiding in this heart of mine
Lives a life of meaning
A life worth leading

Chorus
