Empty Stem
D.O.C. 2010
Nattier, Skene

This farm is feeling lonely
even though my family’s here
Living in a dusty field makes
Everything unclear
But all the dandelions
Standing in my yard
Show me what I need to do
To make a new start

(Chorus)
Even the dandelions
Ride the wind as the leave
Behind a part of them
Moving on to new life
Growin’ under new skies
Like the seeds I was meant
To drift The heart of me has already left
And if the rest of me stays
I’ll turn into an empty stem

When I was younger
I thought I’d live here forever
Just like my dad did
But now I can’t imagine
When I see my fake smile
Hangin on the wall
Well I don’t see myself at all

Repeat Chorus

If I drive full speed on emptiness
It just might take me
where I ain’t been yet

Repeat Chorus
