And when your mind is dead
Empty eyes sit in your head
And you sense there's nothing left

With every passing breath
But you solider each day
Why should thoughts get in the way?

There's a place for you right here
'Cuz conformity hides fear
I'd say to you

I'd say to you "just try to change"
Empty minds can fill again
We're not doomed by any fate

And it will never be too late

Unless you die like all my friends

Meeting silent jaded ends
Then a lesson might be learned
You can fade away and burn

The two are not exclusive things
But the sorrow that they bring
It can jade us all to hate

'Cuz empty lives don't devastate
I'd say to you
I'd say to you "just try to change"

Empty lives can fill again
We're not doomed by any fate
And it can never be too late


It's a wheel of betrayal
It's a static emotion

It's the will to survive
With an inborn devotion
It's the courage to change

And admit your mistakes
It's the chance to rise up
With the raising of stakes

It's your consciousness
And the guilt you must feel
It's the time to stand up

And take back your raw deals
Because the time has come
To put folks before wealth

Or you will lose your family
Friends and yourself
It's the horror and terror

That you sweep out of sight
It's the blaming of others
To help you sleep at night

It's the raping and death
That lies under your smile
It's the real estate

And the cash that you pile
It's all of these things
That are causing us pain

So I'll tell to your $$# "just try to change"
'Cuz empty lives can fill again
Yes empty lives can fill again
