My Hands Are Empty Lyrics
Misery, cover me in waves
This heartache is slowly
Withering, I become her slave
Succumb to the darkness
Suffocating like I'm drowning in sand
Depression's got me by her cold dead hands
Treachery, the choices you made
Cut my heart open with this golden blade
My hands are empty, lies so petty
My hands are empty, kill me gently
Medicate, I watched you slowly die
The powders and pills
Disintegrate, you right before my eyes
The emptiness haunts me
Glass reflections of a cold dead stare
Ingesting chemicals of death with no care
Memories, they haunt me they stain
Of what you once meant to me before this pain
My hands are empty, lies so petty
My hands are empty, kill me gently
I, I will not hide these scars of mine
(Take away the shame)
I, I will not be what's left behind
(Find someone else to blame)
Forgiveness, constricted
No longer human
A ghost in time
I, I will not hide these scars of mine
(Take away the shame)
I, I will not be what's left behind
(Find someone else to blame)
Forgiveness, constricted
No longer human
A ghost in time
My hands are empty, lies so petty
My hands are empty, kill me gently
My hands are empty, lies so petty
My hands are empty, kill me gently
This heartache is slowly
Withering, I become her slave
Succumb to the darkness
Depression's got me by her cold dead hands
Treachery, the choices you made
Cut my heart open with this golden blade
My hands are empty, kill me gently
The powders and pills
Disintegrate, you right before my eyes
The emptiness haunts me
Ingesting chemicals of death with no care
Memories, they haunt me they stain
Of what you once meant to me before this pain
My hands are empty, kill me gently
(Take away the shame)
I, I will not be what's left behind
(Find someone else to blame)
Forgiveness, constricted
No longer human
A ghost in time
(Take away the shame)
I, I will not be what's left behind
(Find someone else to blame)
Forgiveness, constricted
No longer human
A ghost in time
My hands are empty, kill me gently
My hands are empty, lies so petty
My hands are empty, kill me gently

This track is where Eros’ grief becomes palpable. He's left without someone important to him, his mother who died from a drug overdose, and feels hollow, betrayed, and lost. He feels nothing but misery, withering in heartache's embrace, and slowly succumbs to the darkness. It leads him to look for someone to blame; Someone to hate and never forgive, even though her death was his own fault, as he had slowly been watching her drown in pills and medication addictions. He could have stopped it, and maybe he tried, but he doesn't want to accept that he's likely the cause of it. His hands are empty, with no one else to hold dearly, and darkness consumes him.
