Fill in the Void
I've been all around this world
I've walked through fields in the rain
The city has been mine in the dark
and in the daylight again
I traveled in search of opportunity
and felt like I'd been destroyed
Leaning my head against cold concrete
just trying to avoid
Fill in the void
Empty ghost voices called out in the night
Never saying much at all
I had my pockets stuffed full of quarters
but with no one to call
I raced with the wind or so I guessed
Doing things I thought I enjoyed
Wrong turn, bad luck, blind alley
Malfunctioning android
Fill in the void
And when I saw the blackest darkness
that any night had ever known
A graveyard chill ran through me
and froze to the bone
I raced for the light in terror
The rockets had been deployed
And waiting for me was the salvation
I thought I'd destroyed
And filled in the void
I've been all around this world
I've walked through fields in the rain
The city has been mine in the dark
and in the daylight again
I traveled in search of opportunity
and felt like I'd been destroyed
Leaning my head against cold concrete
just trying to avoid
Fill in the void
Empty ghost voices called out in the night
Never saying much at all
I had my pockets stuffed full of quarters
but with no one to call
I raced with the wind or so I guessed
Doing things I thought I enjoyed
Wrong turn, bad luck, blind alley
Malfunctioning android
Fill in the void
And when I saw the blackest darkness
that any night had ever known
A graveyard chill ran through me
and froze to the bone
I raced for the light in terror
The rockets had been deployed
And waiting for me was the salvation
I thought I'd destroyed
And filled in the void
