Empty Vessel Songtext
von Dirty Projectors

We′re facing forward or
With our eyes closed
We are dreaming of the coast
We have a basket wrapped in a cloak
And in it's what we cherish most

Overhead a bird is coming
To rest on our crowns (rest our crowns)
Weightless and without a sound (less with a)


There is no other one I can see (other one I)
There′s only you and only me (and me)
No matter how the whole world (how the whole)
Is underneath the burden of multitudes (burden)

We are just another empty vessel (vessel)
Filled by warmth (by warmth)
Forged in crucible of hope (in crucible of hope)

Empty vessel
Empty vessel
Empty vessel
