Name: Vacant
Duration: P00H02M58S
Description: Vacant is a breakup song. I wrote it a few days after my ex-partner and I had broken up. I was so empty and devoid of positivity. The song goes through my thoughts of guilt and pain. I didn’t want to ever feel anything again, I wanted to just stay hollow, hence, “Hollow out my skin and bones, I’ve wasted them.”

lyrics

Reached the end before the beginning
In this empty space I’m swimming
I’m going blind
My mind is spinning
I’m done with thoughts
I’m tired of feeling

Asphyxiating words I craft to wound
Never quite reaching who
I wanna be, this all is too soon
Apologies, I know I erased you

And I didn’t mean to disappoint
But it’s all I’m good for at this point
Hollow out my skin and bones
I’ve wasted them
I didn’t mean to disappoint
But it’s all I’m good for at this point
Hollow out my skin and bones
I’ve wasted them
I’ll never grow

It’s over now
I’m over now
