[id:$00000000] [ar:Zack Hemsey] [ti:Empty Room] [by:] [hash:678f232fae700c29cd38bb6997aa7ea8] [al:] [sign:] [total:215290] [offset:0] [00:00.65]Zack Hemsey - Empty Room [00:13.27]You never know your shot at fame is over till it passes [00:17.21]Till the hourglass is empty and it's backwards [00:20.12]And in the vacuum you just wonder how this happened [00:23.17]As the artist in you now gets enveloped inside a casket [00:27.00]I've put much money and time into this passion [00:29.97]Never really thought it would end in quite this fashion [00:33.47]But life is what it is and I'll never regret the path [00:36.52]I'm just depressed my art never made it to reach the [00:39.17]masses [00:40.39]Just average, no better and no preferred [00:42.96]I guess I felt I had something worthy to give this [00:45.76]world [00:46.56]Perhaps it was conceit to have thought I would move the [00:49.51]herd [00:49.86]Ego to think I'd lead to new standard with note and [00:52.46]word [00:53.22]And foolish to believe a new paradigm would spur [00:56.60]But though absurd I won't apologize [00:59.34]I won't acknowledge my pursuit was just an empty try [01:02.47]So be advised and have the knowledge from this poem [01:05.07]occurred [01:05.92]This from the greatest artist in the world you never [01:08.37]heard [01:16.48]Well it don't matter I'm sitting inside an empty room [01:20.08]Alone with no one present to hear the music boom [01:23.31]Like Beethoven or Bach without a chance to bloom [01:26.58]Or for Shakespeare's words never to be consumed [01:30.03]I just hope that one day my work will be exhumed [01:33.36]To infuse with higher levels now un-pursued [01:36.52]And that maybe the spirit in this will surge [01:39.70]And turn the world into something in which I'm heard [01:47.49]I'm inside these four walls [01:50.05]I feel confined by four walls [01:53.46]Yes, my mind is four walls [01:55.93]Where thoughts come forth and design rhymes for y'all [01:59.83]Just my flow, the audio and my pen [02:02.33]Well, written it's a 10 [02:04.06]But no audience attends [02:05.93]Still I can't give in [02:07.38]The feeling won't descend [02:09.29]I don't do this just because, there's a cause I defend [02:12.41]So the music never ends [02:14.07]I'm not the caged bird that never sings [02:16.43]I'm the bird in the cage that breaks his wings [02:19.50]Trying to escape from where I feel trapped [02:22.36]So I keep shouting my raps [02:23.89]The sound waves bouncing back [02:25.59]It hits my frame, recharges my spirit [02:28.74]Then clicks my brain, responds with lyrics much [02:32.40]stronger than the last [02:33.85]Some day this sonic blast [02:35.76]Will cause these walls to crash [02:37.31]And the mass can be exposed [02:39.63]To the greatest never known [02:41.55]Grown by the desire and the fire that inspires real [02:44.90]writers [02:45.75]And to all of them I've shown [02:48.31]That when I arrive they will cheer [02:50.41]But all the while I've been here [02:52.11]All the while in this square [02:54.01]Waiting for someone to hear [02:56.95]Or them just to lend an ear [03:02.91]Well it don't matter I'm sitting inside an empty room [03:06.04]Alone with no one present to hear the music boom [03:09.49]Like Beethoven or Bach without a chance to bloom [03:12.89]Or for Shakespeare's words to never be consumed [03:16.34]I just hope that one day my work will be exhumed [03:19.58]To infuse with higher levels now un-pursued [03:22.83]And that maybe the spirit in this will surge [03:26.03]And turn the world into something in which I'm heard
