  • I've been feeling so frustrated
    I'll never be as great as
    I want to be
    Everyone that I run into
    The ones you always seem so into
    What's wrong with me?

    They all seem to know exactly
    What it is they want, they pass me
    They smile as they go
    So I work at staying patient
    Good things come to those that wait
    Or so they say

    I'm so empty
    You're all I'm thinking about, about
    Oh oh, about, about
    Oh oh oh, about, about
    Oh oh oh, about, about

    I get tired of trying
    Ideas die on the vine
    And I feel like a fake
    I lie awake believing
    That somehow I keep failing
    I rail and I ache
    At the monsters and the demons
    I've wrestled with for eons
    And I want to destroy

    I'm so empty
    You're all I talk about
    Oh oh-out
    You're all I talk about

    Every day, every hour of the night
    You're all I think about
    Every day, every hour of the night
    You're all I dream about
    Every day, every hour of the night
    You're all I think about
    You're all I think about

    I'm so empty
    I'm so empty
    I'm so empty
    You're all I'm thinking about
    About, about, oh oh oh, about
    I'm so empty Writer/s: Bryan David Vig, Douglas Elwin Erickson, Shirley Ann Manson, Steve W Marker
