lyrics

a nasty rumor is floating around
about empty vessels making the most sound
there had to be a catastrophe
to show slick hands when the vessel is empty
mechanical monsters dip and sway
along the coastline of the states
toes in liquid gold, parts are getting old
the pressure gives way
how can you shoot Goliath
if the rocks run through your hands?
with lost goods and used rubber tires
5000 feet below land?
all these empty vessels
are filled with apathy,
every one, every one
top hats barter primetime slots
clean the closet with landfill cheap shots
play your game your righteous roulette
you're catching flies with a poacher's net
visuals flow a thousand miles from the tongue
you won't be called a quitter
nestle into your digital real estate
cover yourself with glue with glitter
all these empty vessels
are filled with apathy,
every one, every one
all these empty vessels
are filled with apathy,
every one
