Song Lyrics
Wealth and comfort and power
Success and trophies and fame
All of life is so hollow
And all these treasures are in vain
In the end they don’t take away the pain
Of the emptiness
That penetrates our lives
All the selfishness
And all our foolish pride
God, our hearts die
As we slowly lose our minds
Without You, here inside
Business, pursuits, distractions
Religion, posturing, and games
Beneath the masks nothing’s different
The lies don’t drown out the shame
In the end they don’t take away the pain
Of the emptiness
That penetrates our lives
All the selfishness
And all our foolish pride
God, our hearts die
As we slowly lose our minds
Without You, here inside
Break through these walls
And bring us back again
We’ve lost ourselves
In the deceitfulness of sin
Reach down to us
Oh Lord, let this be the end
Of the emptiness
That penetrates our lives
All the selfishness
And all our foolish pride
God, our hearts die
As we slowly lose our minds
Without You, here inside
