editors - empty sweetness lyrics

Loading...

verse 1
the craving cuts like whispered lies
a hollow ache beneath my eyes
your ghost is sugar, sharp and bright
you burn my veins, you stole my nights

pre+chorus
the glow was fleeting
the rush deceiving
now i’m left bleeding
my body’s screaming

chorus
sweetness fades, it’s hollow, gone
the weight of silence lingers on
no more rush, no more disguise
just empty sweetness in my mind

verse 2
your glittered charm, it owned my breath
promised joy, but tasted death
every moment, a poisoned kiss
every high leads down to this

pre+chorus
the glow was fleeting
the rush deceiving
now i’m left bleeding
my body’s screaming
chorus
sweetness fades, it’s hollow, gone
the weight of silence lingers on
no more rush, no more disguise
just empty sweetness in my mind

bridge
(spoken or whispered, over a dark instrumental build+up)
“i thought i needed you
i let you in
but you cracked my ribs
and filled them with dust
now i’m breaking free—
from you, from me.”

instrumental break
(a driving bassline with a staccato guitar riff, layered synths swelling, building tension.)

final chorus
sweetness fades, it’s hollow, gone
the weight of silence lingers on
no more rush, no more disguise
just empty sweetness in my mind

outro
(softly, over sp+rs+ piano and reverb+drenched guitar)
empty sweetness…
empty sweetness…
it never was real
