    Empty Box
    Like Swimming
    1997
    Lyrics:
    Tore open a package it was an empty box
    No meaning to me just an empty box
    Sender was a woman (x2)
    She said she's sending me everything that I I I never gave her before
    She said fill it up and send it back
    Fill it up and send it back
    So I send her back an empty box
    A big mistake sent back an empty box
    Half in the shadows half in the husky moonlight
    And half insane just a sound
    I crossed into a valley a valley so dark
    That when I look back I can't see where I begin
    I can't see my hands
    I don't even know if my eyes are open
    In the morning I was by the sea
    And I swam out as far as I could swim
    Until I was too tired to swim anymore
    And then I floated and tried to get my strength back
    And then an empty box came floating by
    An empty box and I crawled inside
    Half in the shadows half in the husky moonlight
    And half insane just a sound in the night
    Half in the shadows half in the husky moonlight
    And half insane just a sound

      Yeah it's humbling to flaunt my idiocy in public, just not in this case; L pretty love their entire catalogue; was so bummed when he died, was lucky to see them once in a small venue; perfect show, right, 'bout , 'round 22 years ago, or so. LOve you Mark Sandman.

      You just have to look for it. Members of the band went on to do other projects, (Twinemen, A.K.A.C.O.D., Bourbon Princess, etc,) and other newer artists have taken inspiration from Morphine. The music you want is out there, but you might have to hunt.

      He gave her everything once before, the empty box was an invitation to reacquaint and be lovers again. He rejected it for whatever reason - more than likely fear - returning the box empty. It was the same empty box that then came floating by, she had discarded it and though he had intimations of it before that's when he realised the depth of his mistake, too late. He crawled inside and allowed the ocean to do what it will with him, he'd lost control and was now at the mercy of events.
