Empty Words

Did you hope I wouldn't notice you gave me empty words to drink?
well my tongues tasted more lies 
than you would ever dare to think of.
You're not the only one with truth like poison in their veins.
whose ribs are shaped like cage 
holding tightly to the pain 
I knew even touched that wretched cup 
pour a glass of words to cover what you hide 
perhaps don't leave your secrets clinging tightly 
to the side 
but then again empty words.
