I The Mighty - A Spoonful Of Shallow Makes Your Head An Empty Space Lyrics






You came here to lie.
It's all you know.
It's a desperate cry to feed your low ego.
So drink up and smile and clench your jaw.
Transparent denial,
like lips curled upward hide your flaws.

Now aren't you a sad little soul?
Wouldn't you love to be whole?
If you don't know who you are, you're never gonna get that far.

I talk to myself,
It's all I know.
It's how I sort out the mess that is my own ego.
It gets fragile and worn much like your own.
But if you hide from that fact,
you fake the life you could have known.

Now aren't you a sad little soul?
Wouldn't you love to be whole?
If you don't know who you are, you're never gonna get that far.
You weathered the worst of it all.
Now you're gonna find your way home.
If you don't know who you are, you're never gonna get that far.

Oh yeah!? You wanna free yourself?
Then say what you feel and give a fuck less!
The color of honesty suits you best!

Now aren't you a sad little soul?
Wouldn't you love to be whole?
If you don't know who you are, you're never gonna get that far.
You weathered the worst of it all.
Now you're gonna find your way home.
If you don't know who you are, you're never gonna get that far.

  2. N.... M....

    Best part all after 2:10

  3. K.... T....

    this song got me into this band

  4. T.... ....

    Been hanging with DGD alot have you, I the Mighty? :)

  5. K.... A....

    sound like ya boy ollie sykes

    K.... A....

    not even

    K.... A....

    Please no.

  6. �.... �....

    masterpiece

  7. N.... L....

    sounds like allb..

    N.... L....

    I dont hear that at all, not even the new ALLB .....the one where Kurt Travis is no longer the singer :( they are still good tho, dont get me wrong....anyways, I just dont get an ALLB vibe at all.

  8. T.... L....

    Got that Dance Gavin Dance feel to it.

    T.... L....

    Probably the same animators.

    T.... L....

    was literally bout to make tht comment lol

    T.... L....

    First time I saw them live they were on a DGD headlining tour

    T.... L....

    Yessir the famous John Howe

  9. V.... G....

    Dance Gavin Dance kind of video hehe

    V.... G....

    @Viccenzo Gaio Same animator.

  10. P.... D....

    Love love love this band ❤️

  11. H.... G....

    Best music video I've seen in a long time!!

    H.... G....

    Check out John Howe media. He made this and videos for DGD, A Lot Like Birds, Stolas, and a bunch of other bands.

  12. B.... E....

    I must know who the back up vocalist of this song is!

    B.... E....

    I think it's the bass player. When I first heard this song, that's immediately who I thought of when I heard the back-ups.

    If you watch some of their live acoustic videos, he does the back-up vocals that brent would usually do on an album. 

    B.... E....

    @Michael Blackmond It is the bass player that does the back up vocals.

  13. L.... S....

    I love this song and this video so much.
    I'd really like to hear an acoustic version of it, especially since their acoustics are always amazing.

  14. p.... ....

    Seriously whoever is doing backup vocals needs to do them way more.

    p.... ....

    pookamonsta the base guitar is doing em if im not mistaking :)

  15. p.... ....

    Those harmonies.... <3

  16. R.... B....

    I just got slapped with some Circa Survive at 0:50. Loving this band!

  17. G.... ....

    This song...damn. I heard this song many times, but I've never actually listened to it until now.

  18. D.... G....

    Such a simplistic and heartfelt track. I the Mighty has got the gift of biting lyrics that really hold your attention.

  19. J.... H....

    @padraig murphy I made both videos - it's just my art style!

    J.... H....

    @John Howe
    Amazing bro, you should make a cartoon show with this style.

    J.... H....

    Thank you @kuro san!! :)

    J.... H....

    @John Howe I love how fked up your style of art is, and not fked up in a bad way. keep up the great work ;3

    J.... H....

    @l3lacky008 Thanks so much man!

    J.... H....

    I've been a fan of the band for a while and just found this video, wanted to say you did a great job with it

  20. P.... M....

    The style looks like the style in Dance Gavin Dance's The Death of the Robot with Human Hair. Just to be clear I simply commenting on the similarity and not in anyway trying to say that they stole the idea from DGD especially since this video came out first

    P.... M....

    Padraig Murphy its made by the same artist bro

  21. J.... A....

    This video shows exactly what happened to me. Except that I lied so much that my parents never took me to a psychologist,and my girlfriend dumped me recently.

    J.... A....

    No,never. After she dumped me I felt empty,nothing to be specific. I couldn't feel the love of my parents,I couldn't feel the love of my dogs,etc. I asked her why she dumped me,when she told me why,I promised her that in two years I'm going to change.

    J.... A....

    3 years later what happened?

    J.... A....

    @Grim Reefer
    Nothing happened. She and I talk occasionally like friends, but that's the end of that. I'm not heartbroken about it, and I believe I've changed for the better. I feel like I'm okay about it, so that's good.

  22. d.... ....

    Love this song

    d.... ....

    I saw that after commenting /.^ I love the style to them

  23. B.... S....

    this supposed to be about romance?

    B.... S....

    it's about becoming better , finding the right people, allowing yourself to be better, and getting out of your holes you've drown yourself in (:

  24. H.... ....

    Why aren't there any more music videos like this? This is Freaking Adorable!

    H.... ....

    @Derek Emmanuel MPO: 
    WISIRO was okay at worse & good at best. Same w/ DBM1

    Everything w/ Kurt Travis was & is amazing!!!

    & as I tell all my friends who listen to DGD, while I not the biggest fan of Jonny Craig's earlier stuff, I think that he redeemed himself w/ Emarosa & DBM2

    Since you already know my opinions on AS & IG, I don't need to say anymore.

    H.... ....

    @Hello!Nurd​ i can say just about the same. People always say kurt travis gave DGD a different and worse look but I really like it when he was with DGD. It was great in ny opinion. I loved the way that DGD sounded melodically and Kurt Travis matched a lot of the rhythmic foundations that Jonny Craig brought. I think Kurt Travis should be president lol

    H.... ....

    @Derek Emmanuel As much as I love Kurt Travis, I prefer Tillian Pearson.

    H.... ....

    I personally can't discredit any of them. They all did a good job

    H.... ....

    @Derek Emmanuel Agreed

  25. B.... V....

    I only started listening to this band cause of warped but i dig the songs when they scream more then the ones were they dont

  26. a.... z....

    Loved it

  27. f.... a....

    How retarded someone can be to thumbs down?

    f.... a....

    Because they have an opinion, they're retarded?

    f.... a....

    @FilipinoSnyper I just don't know what one should dislike to to place thumbs down

    f.... a....

    People are entitled to their opinions.

  28. S.... G....

    just one word..........amazing¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡

  29. K.... B....

    You guys always have the best music videos and it really inspires me to be a better director/editor.

  30. M.... ....

  69. O.... C....

    Demons are soul suckers. This video puts a cartoonish vibe onto something that is very real and metaphysical. I wish more people understood the nature of these entities so that they might better avoid them and take power over them.

  70. L.... ....

    I've been listening to their songs for the past hour or so and still have not figured out how this band has not been recognized yet
