Serj Tankian Lyrics

"Empty Walls" lyrics



Your empty walls,

Your empty walls,

Pretentious adventures,

Dismissive apprehension,

Don't waste your time,

On coffins today,

When we decline,

From the confines of our mind,

Don't waste your time,

On coffins today...



Don't you see their bodies burning?

Desolate and full of yearning,

Dying of anticipation,

Choking from intoxication,

Don't you see their bodies burning?

Desolate and full of yearning,

Dying of anticipation,

Choking from intoxication,

I want you to be left behind those empty walls,

Taunt you see from behind those empty walls



Those empty walls,

When we decline,

From the confines of our mind,

Don't waste your time,

On coffins today...



Don't you see their bodies burning?

Desolate and full of yearning,

Dying of anticipation,

Choking from intoxication,

Don't you see their bodies burning?

Desolate and full of yearning,

Dying of anticipation,

Choking from intoxication,

I want you to be left behind those empty walls,

Told you to see from behind those empty walls,

Want you to be left behind those empty walls,

I told you to see from behind those empty walls,

From behind those empty walls,

From behind those empty walls,

The walls!

From behind those empty walls...



I loved you yesterday,

(From behind those empty walls...)

Before you killed my family,

(From behind those empty walls, the walls...)



Don't you see their bodies burning?

Desolate and full of yearning,

Dying of anticipation,

Choking from intoxication,

Don't you see their bodies burning,

Desolate and full of yearning,

(I want you...)

Dying of anticipation,

Choking from intoxication,

(To be left behind those empty...)

I want you to be left behind those empty walls,

Told you to see from behind those empty walls,

(Desolate and full of yearning, Dying of anticipation, Choking from intoxication...)

Want you to be left behind those empty walls,

(Don't you see their bodies burning? Desolate and full of yearning, Dying of anticipation, Choking

from intoxication...)

I told you to see from behind those empty walls,



(Fuck your empty walls, fuck your empty walls)

From behind those empty walls,

(Fuck your empty walls, fuck your empty walls)

From behind those fucking walls,

(Fuck your empty walls, fuck your empty walls)

From behind those goddamn walls,

Those walls!

Those walls!
