Einar Solberg
The Glass Is Empty
They're all gone
Only me and you now
It's nearly dawn
I ask myself, how?

Disintegration
Of a unity
Justification
All led by guilt

It's all gloomy now
The remains
Of a life

The glass is empty
I drink from it nonetheless

I cannot follow where you might descend
To stay alive
It all crumbles in the end

The box is empty
I open it nonetheless
The fear of leaving keeps me here

I cannot follow where you might descend
To stay alive
It all crumbles in the end
Walking alone
Too late to atone
Falling away from us

Efforts are made
Trying to aid
Is it too late now?

Are you too proud to reach out for a helping hand?
Too much resistance will leave you blind

I cannot follow where you might descend
To stay alive
It all crumbles in the end

The glass is empty
I drink from it nonetheless

Is this loyalty?
Or is it fear?

I cannot follow where you might descend
To stay alive
It all crumbles in the end

Losing touch
Fading out
Withering
Pain
Falling on your knees
To leave this world
The war within you never ends
Hence you blame it on everyone else
I take a step back
You move forward
I can't stay here anymore
I have to leave
I have to leave
I have to go
I've never ever in my whole life seen anyone going this low
How can we help you when you're not letting us go?

The room is shrinking
You keep on drinking

I have to leave
I have to leave
I have to go
I've never seen anyone going this low

I lock the door
Can't win this war
I leave this prison of guilt
Tearing down what we built
