Serj Tankian - Empty Walls

This is a beautifully written song....the lyrics have so much meaning in it.....
 
Go search or download the ACOUSTIC VERSION...
 
because most of you might probably not like the heavy music in the original song...
 
the acoustic version is just violin,guitar and piano...with ofcourse vocals...
 
Serj Tankian,the singer of this song is also the lead vocalist of System Of A Down..
 
Your empty walls
Your empty walls
Pretentious attention
Dismissive apprehension
Don't waste your time
On coffins today
When we decline
From the confines of our mind
Don't waste your time
On coffins today 

Don't you see their bodies burning
Desolate and full of yearning
Dying of anticipation
Choking from intoxication
Don't you see their bodies burning
Desolate and full of yearning
Dying of anticipation
Choking from intoxication 

I want you to be left behind those empty walls
Taught you to see from behind those empty walls 

Those empty walls
When we decline
From the confines of our mind
Don't waste your time
On coffins today 

Don't you see their bodies burning
Desolate and full of yearning
Dying of anticipation
Choking from intoxication
Don't you see their bodies burning
Desolate and full of yearning
Dying of anticipation
Choking from intoxication 

I want you to be left behind those empty walls
Taught you to see from behind those empty walls 

Want you to be left behind those empty walls
I taught you to see from behind those empty walls 

From behind those empty walls
From behind those empty walls
The walls
From behind those empty walls 

I loved you yesterday
Before you killed my family 

Don't you see their bodies burning
Desolate and full of yearning
Dying of anticipation
Choking from intoxication
Don't you see their bodies burning
Desolate and full of yearning
Dying of anticipation
Choking from intoxication 

I want you to be left behind those empty walls
Taught you to see from behind those empty walls 

I want you to be left behind those empty walls
I taught you to see from behind those empty walls 

From behind those empty walls
From behind those fucking walls
From behind those god damn walls
Those walls
Those walls
