[Lyrics]
There is an empty house
That sits up on a hill
The memories, though abandoned
They still make me want to kill
This old house is not a home
There's no friendly atmosphere
Even though it's faded
I still come to stand right here
Starting out my bedroom window
Watching as the seasons change
I lay my head down on my pillow
I hear them yell, it hasn't changed
Is it my brother, or my father?
Even now I still don't know
I'm trapped inside these haunting flashbacks
Did I miss my turn to go?
How far will they go?
How far will they go before I'm gone?
How far will they go?
How far will they go before I'm gone?
Ooooh, ooooh
There is an empty room
It used to have a soul
This room it was my brother's,
Now it's nothing but a hole
This whole place, it feels lost
But funny thing though, so do I
Anger occupies my thoughts
But I must leave this place to shine
How far will they go?
How far will they go before I'm gone?
How far will they go?
How far will they go before I'm gone?
Ooooh, ooooh
Ooooh, ooooh
I'm goin' home
I'm goin' home
I'm home
Empty House
I wrote this song based around a piece of writing a friend of mine did several years ago. The original song was written around some guitar samples I found on the internet, but I'm happy to have made it my own. I would like to some day re-visit this track again and give it instrumentation closer to what it started out with. I wrote this song around the same time that I first got into Alice in Chains, with a lot of inspiration from the track Nutshell.
Hope you enjoy!
