Spill Lyrics
Digging out a trench
Praying for her father’s gun again.
All the holy weight they’d laid across your back
And the hundred years you’ll waste
just thanking them for that.
And you can’t blame anyone for what you’ve done
Oh my God you can’t blame anyone
Before the bridges are built, you’ll burn them down.
You had built a new face,
empty but awake
And painted it the one shade you could never fake.
Love had kicked your crutches
out from underneath.
I was still the sandstone cutting up your feet.
God was in our back yard, tearing down the fence,
Calling out our father’s name again.
So we fixed him to the floor, covered up his ears
And spent another lifetime
Shaking off our fears.
Oh but I could be something else entirely
And spill out of my burning head
And underneath your door.
No, I do not see what you see
in your old eyes.
And I will be cutting up your feet
for eternity.

I agree with dokbeast and I think "empty by the wake" is "empty but awake".

I disagree with quite a few of the lyrics here, but I'm also not very good at doing lyrics. Anyay, this is what I'm hearing
She was in the backyard diggin' out a trench, prayin' for her father's gun again all the holy weight they laid across your back A hundred years you waste just thanking them for that
AND YOU CAN'T BLAME ANYONE FOR WHAT YOU'VE DONE AND YOU CAN'T BLAME ANYONE FOR WHAT YOU'VE DONE OH MY GOD YOU CAN'T BLAME. ANYONE. BEFORE YOUR BRIDGES ARE BUILT, YOU'LL BURN THEM DOWN
You rebuilt a new face empty by the wake (I question this line the most..) painted it the one shade you could never fake love would kick your crutches out from underneath I was still a sandstone cutting up your feet God was in our back yard tearing down our fence calling out our father's name again we fixed him to the floor covered up his ears spending out a lifetime shaking off our fears
AND YOU CAN'T BLAME ANYONE FOR WHAT YOU'VE DONE AND YOU CAN'T BLAME ANYONE FOR WHAT YOU'VE DONE OH MY GOD YOU CAN'T BLAME. ANYONE. BEFORE YOUR BRIDGES ARE BUILT, YOU'LL BURN THEM DOWN
Oh, but I could be something else, entirely and spill out of my burning hand and underneath your door and no, I do not see what you see in your old eyes and I will be cutting up your fear for eternity
AND YOU CAN'T BLAME ANYONE FOR WHAT YOU'VE DONE AND YOU CAN'T BLAME ANYONE FOR WHAT YOU'VE DONE OH MY GOD YOU CAN'T BLAME. ANYONE. BEFORE YOUR BRIDGES ARE BUILT, YOU'LL BURN THEM DOWN
these are definitely the right lyrics, the only line I am unsure about is the line you were questioning yourself.

I just heard something different by chance while randomly listening, and that line is sounding more like "empty but awake" now. Could still be entirely wrong, but it makes a little more sense if that's correct.

"she was in the back yard digging out a trench praying her fathers gun, again all the holy weight they layed across your back one hundred years we wasted thanking them for that"
"here we built a new face 60 miles away painted it the one shade you could never fake mother kicked your crutches, out from underneath I was still a sandstone cutting up your feet God was in my backyard tearing down my fence calling out our fathers name again we fixed him to the floor, covered up his ears spending all our lifetime shaking off our fears"
Thats what I hear, could be wrong though

I actually think the line is "love will kick your crutches, out from underneath", other than that I think you're spot on.

pretty sure it's "spent another lifetime shaking of our fears"

i think its "For every bridge that's built, you'll burn them down"
