The track, which deals with the subjects of depression and opioid addiction, marks the first musical collaboration between MH mastermind Robb Flynn and original Burn My Eyes guitarist Logan Mader in 24 years.
“My Hands Are Empty” Lyrics:
Misery, cover me in waves
The 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 https://www.machinehead1.com/
