When the world has gone asleep
And the shadows closing in
I loosen up my grip
Can't stand the pain that's creeping in
See, I'm not trying to ask for more of your sympathy
Or to share the weight of whatever I carry
There's just this undeniable reality
The spirit inside me is running on empty
Held on to "the truth that sets you free"
Believed it's the way it's supposed to be
But now I'm left with only the rubble and debris
Will I ever put back together the broken pieces of me?
See, I'm not trying to ask for more of your sympathy
Or to share the weight of whatever I carry
There's just this undeniable reality
The spirit inside me is running on empty
