Story Behind The Song

Stand up is for comedy, not for friends.

Song Description

A song about when friends flake out on you.

Lyrics

Empty Plate

Don't tell me that you will and then don't
Cause next time you ask I just won't
Don't take advantage of my goodwill cause I just won't

I stared at my phone like a dog staring at his dish
I've got better things to do and I ain't gonna waste a wish
Asking heaven for your soul to evolve
Or trying to find that space inside your head which earth
Revolves around

I've got a picture of your face looking at your name in lights
I see a semi full of fame comin at you like a deer at night
I can almost name the day, name the expiration date
That your friends spit out your name like sour milk upon the plate they set for you
The empty plate they set for you

Now some people it's their nature
they're just social butterflies
They collect more friends on facebook
than they know with their own eyes
But when you fly
you're either built for stamina or built for speed
So there just may come a day, and don't act too surprised
If you get to where you're going
and find no one else arrived
You can try to send a text or listen to the ground
Or scream inside that space inside your head which the earth
Revolves around.
