Emptiness

"Emptiness" is a song by LorD and Master and is the B-side to "Cold sweat", the last single to be taken from the album, Demeanour. The song examines the struggle to keep other people happy when you're suffering from depression. The strength it takes to smile and put on a brave face, despite the fact you may be crying in agony inside.

Lyrics

A feeling of emptiness pervades
Another depression invades your mind
Where has the laughter gone today?
You've gone through all of those ways to unwind

It's all you can do to wear a smile on your face
And everyone expects you to perform at your usual pace

It's OK
It'll be all right
You'll put up a damned good fight
The emptiness 
You feel inside
Won't be for ever, it'll subside

It'll subside

You'll just have to wait out this storm
Until you can get back to the norm, someday
You keep it all locked up inside
All this mounting pressure has fried your brain

It'll subside
It'll subside
It'll subside
It'll subside
