about

Empty House is a kind of reminder of how far I had come in my battle with social anxiety. It's a metaphor for the hopelessness that luckily feels further behind me than ever.

lyrics

Perhaps you don’t, but I do
I remember when I spent three years behind you
and I didn’t help myself

And just last week, you found me
Running off my mouth and talking faded glory
But it wasn’t my story to tell

I don’t want to come back
To that empty house
It’s the heavy lifting
It weighs me down
All the risk of waiting
Put me on the shelf
Now I’m always raging on
I’m always raging on myself

Perhaps you know, like I knew
Little choices make a mark whether you want them to
And they’re harder to shake than you think

I grew up loud, I fell off
Caught your hand on the way down
And now there’s two of us
And I’m taking to you like a drink

I know I won’t go back
To that empty house
It’s the way it’s changing
It weighs me down
All the time spent waiting
Never asked for help
Now I’m always raging on
I’m always raging on myself
