lyrics
Reflecting back to the future was in our eyes.
But the sun eclipsed, black soaks the sky.
I trusted you when you said you'd grow old with me.
I had to tear you out, my soul is half empty.
I've wasted many a night, with no vision.
I'm just staring up.
Thinking back to the past.
Wondered if I cared enough.
There were holes in the deck before we cast off.
The cocktail was shaken and will explode like a molotov.
The warning signs are everywhere.
And with time they only worsened.
I suppose I'll never know if these actions were on purpose.
But don't think it was an impact when in fact you have not scratched the surface.
Trust when I say I've seen the darkness, I've lived there.
Reveal our deepest secrets, let's compare.
There are marks that you can't see.
And some that are blind to me.
Hand me a shovel, I'll dig myself out.
The painted smile on my face to cover what I've felt.
It's a parasite that lurks in me.
I've got to get it out.
I trusted you when you said you'd grow old with me.
I had to tear you out and now and now I stand here half empty.
Can you hear the silence, is it comfortable where the wise live?
Will you ever repeat the words of "yes I'm fine?"
No repeats this time, I'm hitting back at the remedy.
Temporarily, an elegantly named identity.
For everything thats said, and the words that we won't keep.
You tried hard to crack this head, and you want empathy?
Im constantly doubting, the worst critic of my own design.
I decline the right to be silent or just abide.
Hold tight, because I'm packed full of surprises.
But the only ones that matter are the ones that survive this.
I trusted you when you said you'd grow old with me.
I had to tear you out and now and now I stand here half empty.
Can you hear the silence, is it comfortable where the wise live?
Will you ever repeat the words of "yes I'm fine?"
But the sun eclipsed, black soaks the sky.
I trusted you when you said you'd grow old with me.
I had to tear you out, my soul is half empty.
I've wasted many a night, with no vision.
I'm just staring up.
Thinking back to the past.
Wondered if I cared enough.
There were holes in the deck before we cast off.
The cocktail was shaken and will explode like a molotov.
The warning signs are everywhere.
And with time they only worsened.
I suppose I'll never know if these actions were on purpose.
But don't think it was an impact when in fact you have not scratched the surface.
Trust when I say I've seen the darkness, I've lived there.
Reveal our deepest secrets, let's compare.
There are marks that you can't see.
And some that are blind to me.
Hand me a shovel, I'll dig myself out.
The painted smile on my face to cover what I've felt.

Pure Morning
by Josie Pace and Sammi Dollsupported by 4 fans who also own “Half Empty”
This song is the perfect example of a well-done cover, is not just singing like the original, it has its own identity and in my opinion/taste is better than the original.

Saw Kanga last night in Houston , instantly was entranced by her sound , sucked me into the Kangakult vortex , so glad I got to see her live , should have looked into her sooner as Gary Numan was so supportive of her on the Revolution tour , oh now it’s time to catch up and get further involved
