Lyrics

[00:00.657] Zack Hemsey -Empty Room
[00:13.276] You never know your shot at fame is over till it passes
[00:17.217] Till the hourglass is empty and it's backwards
[00:20.127] And in the vacuum you just wonder how this happened
[00:23.177] As the artist in you now gets enveloped inside a casket
[00:27.01] I've put much money and time into this passion
[00:29.976] Never really thought it would end in quite this fashion
[00:33.478] But life is what it is and I'll never regret the path
[00:36.527] I'm just depressed my art never made it to reach the
[00:39.177] masses
[00:40.397] Just average,no better and no preferred
[00:42.968] I guess I felt I had something worthy to give this
[00:45.768] world
[00:46.560] Perhaps it was conceit to have thought I would move the
[00:49.510] herd
[00:49.860] Ego to think I'd lead to new standard with note and
[00:52.461] word
[00:53.226] And foolish to believe a new paradigm would spur
[00:56.603] But though absurd I won't apologize
[00:59.341] I won't acknowledge my pursuit was just an empty try
[01:02.471] So be advised and have the knowledge from this poem
[01:05.73] occurred
[01:05.924] This from the greatest artist in the world you never
[01:08.374] heard
[01:16.481] Well it don't matter I'm sitting inside an empty room
[01:20.88] Alone with no one present to hear the music boom
[01:23.310] Like Beethoven or Bach without a chance to bloom
[01:26.583] Or for Shakespeare's words never to be consumed
[01:30.37] I just hope that one day my work will be exhumed
[01:33.362] To infuse with higher levels now un-pursued
[01:36.520] And that maybe the spirit in this will surge
[01:39.709] And turn the world into something in which I'm heard
[01:47.492] I'm inside these four walls
[01:50.57] I feel confined by four walls
[01:53.462] Yes,my mind is four walls
[01:55.939] Where thoughts come forth and design rhymes for y'all
[01:59.833] Just my flow,the audio and my pen
[02:02.334] Well,written it's a 10
[02:04.63] But no audience attends
[02:05.932] Still I can't give in
[02:07.382] The feeling won't descend
[02:09.293] I don't do this just because,there's a cause I defend
[02:12.415] So the music never ends
[02:14.78] I'm not the caged bird that never sings
[02:16.431] I'm the bird in the cage that breaks his wings
[02:19.507] Trying to escape from where I feel trapped
[02:22.362] So I keep shouting my raps
[02:23.898] The sound waves bouncing back
[02:25.599] It hits my frame,recharges my spirit
[02:28.749] Then clicks my brain,responds with lyrics much
[02:32.402] stronger than the last
[02:33.852] Some day this sonic blast
[02:35.766] Will cause these walls to crash
[02:37.316] And the mass can be exposed
[02:39.632] To the greatest never known
[02:41.558] Grown by the desire and the fire that inspires real
[02:44.908] writers
[02:45.755] And to all of them I've shown
[02:48.315] That when I arrive they will cheer
[02:50.415] But all the while I've been here
[02:52.115] All the while in this square
[02:54.17] Waiting for someone to hear
[02:56.959] Or them just to lend an ear
[03:02.912] Well it don't matter I'm sitting inside an empty room
[03:06.47] Alone with no one present to hear the music boom
[03:09.493] Like Beethoven or Bach without a chance to bloom
[03:12.891] Or for Shakespeare's words to never be consumed
[03:16.349] I just hope that one day my work will be exhumed
[03:19.588] To infuse with higher levels now un-pursued
[03:22.839] And that maybe the spirit in this will surge
[03:26.32] And turn the world into something in which I'm heard
