Still Here – Empty Measures (Audio) (Video)

“So deep, penetrating into the very depths of our subconsciousness, the Empty Measures voice pulls a bouquet of experiences onto the surface of each of us. Genuine feelings.”

“Глубокий, проникающий в самые недры нашего подсознания голос Empty Measures вытаскивает на поверхность каждого из нас букет переживаний. Неподдельные чувства.”

Acoustic piano. Cello. Male vocals. Starts out rubato rhythm. Moves to click when cello enters. Professionally recorded and mixed/mastered but very stripped down.

Lyrics:

I’ve been there
that belt looked good
been on that balcony
where you stood
sat underneath the door
wondering what it’s all for
hanging by a thread
pushed right to the edge
but I’m still here
and you ask me how much pain
you ask me how much pain it takes
you ask me how much pain it takes to leave
and I don’t know
cos I’m still here

and I’m still here
but I’ve been with you before
wondering what it’s all for
stood on that balcony
sat underneath the door
stepped out on the ledge
pushed right to the edge
been scared half to death
but I’m still here
and I’ve been in that seat with you before
and I’ve been at the end of a rope
one thing that keeps me going everyday
is holding on to Hope
and you ask me how much pain
you ask me how much pain it takes
you ask me how much pain it takes to leave
and I don’t know
cos I’m still here..
