Empty Well by Transient Lyrics

Where do I dig for inspiration
When all my wells have run dry
All the water has been wasted on
Those who can’t survive

How can I sing so many songs
About a love I have never known
Have I been sacrificing substance
For the sake of a good tone?

I think sometimes I’d rather scream it all
Than to let a note of truth shine through
It seems much easier to live a lie
Than to tell the truth to you

[And I can’t stop
Out of the blue]

Where am I, to plant my crops, in a land that has no soil?
What if I drill down deep, for miles and miles, and still not strike oil?
Who will grab my hand,and pull me up, when I reach the other side?
And when I’m old and gray, tired and frail, who then will be my bride?
When I go to bed, and sleep at night, questions plague my mind
I close my eyes, pray to God, that His answers I might find
I can’t believe there was no God who made this earth in whole
Who stitched my veins, hung my bones, and filled my empty soul

I will sing this song a thousand times for what it's worth
I will scream this line until my lungs collapse or when I leave the earth
