Empty Mornings

Track 9 from The Unseen Chorus (A Gay Musical)

Lyrics

A week
Seven days
I haven't touched anyone not even him

The sunlight cuts across the floor
Clothes from last night don't fit anymore
I've counted days like empty beads
But hunger grows and my body still needs

Empty morning empty bed
Empty words I never said
Empty hunger empty skin
I ache for more I ache within
Empty empty

He watches me with quiet eyes
I dodge his questions I sell him lies
The silence louder than any fight
Withdrawal burns me through the night

I used to chase a hundred hands
Now I can't even reach for his

Empty morning empty bed
Empty words I left unsaid
Empty hunger empty skin
I ache for more I ache within
Within within

One week gone I shake I break
The ache won't fade the ache won't wait
I lie awake I dream I crave
The love I want the love I gave

Empty morning empty bed
Empty tears for all I bled
Empty hunger empty skin
I ache for more I ache within
Empty empty

And he knows
He knows something's missing
