Empty As Hell

It's like a sign - none of these pieces will fit
I'm out of time - no good arrangement to split
The items fray - each one I can't retrofit
The more I try - the more I should quit
Feeling in the worst ways
Only with the best things
Look at this shell
There's nothing inside
It's Empty as hell
I'm barely alive
Another day - rework my negative bent
I'll find a way - it's with the greatest intent
I went astray - it isn't what I had meant
The more I try - the more I should quit
Well I see why
I'm justified
Look at this shell
There's nothing inside
It's Empty as hell
I'm barely alive
Feeling in the worst ways
Only with the best things
