Empty Wells Lyrics

I have been so close to death
And I have run so far from life
Hanging on by a little thread
And yelled to try and shush the quiet
And my quiet's not gentle
In empty wells, oh

I'm going through a slow withdrawal
'Cause my pretending had to peel
I let it pull so much from me
That I had forgotten how to feel
And my quiet's not gentle
In empty wells, oh

And it's a long, long tunnel
Oh it's a long way down
I'm looking for (I'm looking)
Puddles and oceans and anything
Tearing me up from the ground

And as it turns out I'm alive
And as it turns to look at me
This little devil man of mire
Who said this was my only destiny

My quiet's not gentle (not gentle)
My quiet's not gentle (not gentle)
My quiet's not gentle (not gentle)
In empty wells

I'm looking for puddles and oceans and anything
Looking for puddles and oceans and anything
Looking for puddles and oceans

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
