Empty

Why ain't I workin?
What's wrong with me.

I can't shift into drive.
I'm stuck in neutral.

I turn the key, 
but the engine won't start.

So I check the tank
and it's empty.

The socket in my chest
is missing the plug.

The plug that was you,
that powered my heart.

And we were how we were,

and I look at you now, 
and you look like you looked.

and I look at me now,
and I look like I looked.

So everythings the same,
but everythings changed.

And I can see where I was,
and I can see where you were,

But it's gone, and where, why, how?
You Jerk World, you.
