Lyrics

Lyrics © 2022 John Heavern, Empty Shelf 

 

INTRO:
:09 Decades of knowin' the ocean is growin', 

just didn't seem to help.
Man's rather handy dispelling the candy, leading to an empty shelf. :24 

 

V1
:26 Magic supplier of every desire, 

and the store's kinda' runnin' itself.
Keep on fuckin' with Nature and we're gonna' pay, when it's nuthin' but an empty shelf. :40 

 

BREAK: (:18) 

 

Ch1
:58 Tied to the habit of blindly grabbin', 

human race is helping itself.
Had a realm of a balanced, plentiful planet, but now it's just an empty shelf. 1:12 

 

V2
1:14 Factories feeding our every need, 

as we breathe in a cloud of smoke. "Fossils" are burnin' wheels that are turnin', as we roll down a steeper slope. 1:28 

 

BREAK: (:18) 

 

Ch2
1:46 Got a solution for the population, 

but the plan needs a lot of help.
We've been too busy killin', to be too willin', so we stand on an empty shelf. 2:00 

 

V3
2:02 Holes in the logic, sold for a profit, 

puppets dancin' on a string.
Vast population glad to embrace it, and happy taking everything. 2:16 

 

BREAK: (:18) 

 

Ch1
2:34 Tied to the habit of blindly grabbin', 

human race is helping itself.
Had a realm of a balanced, plentiful planet, but now it's just an empty shelf. 2:47 

 

V4
2:49 Reason is wasted as we get a taste, 

of a mostly convenient life.
Not new for humans, used to consumin' any food that we really like. 3:04 

 

BREAK: (:18) 

 

Ch2
3:22 Got a solution for the population, 

but the plan needs a lot of help.
We've been too busy killin', to be too willin', 

so we stand on an empty shelf. 3:36

 

OUTRO: 

3:38 No use complainin', may be too late,
as we're lettin' it all go to hell.
Pushed to the limit of what it'll give us, indecision gets an empty shelf. 3:52
