I sit here alone; I can’t believe it’s been a year now since you’ve gone
This place we called home, seems so foreign, unfamiliar, and so cold
I try to tell myself it’s worth it,
I try to sell myself it's right
Self-deception’s what you call it,
But I’m not buying, from myself tonight
I sit here alone, in a room where our last words were so unkind
You walked out the door, without considering the one you left behind
I try to tell myself it's perfect
Though I smile I still cry
Going out to keep appointments
But keeping busy doesn’t seem to hide
That time stands still without you
I can’t not think about you
And though they say the earth’s still turning
For me, my world is burning up without you
I’m lost without you
I sit here alone, and I wonder where and what you’re doing now
Wish I could atone, for the things I said and did to drive you out
I sell myself that it’s the right fit
I tell myself it’s not my fault
Self-deception’s what you call it,
But I’m not buying my sales pitch at all
Cause time stands still without you
I can’t not think about you
And though they say the earth’s still turning
For me, my world is burning up without you
Without you, I’m half a man
Without you, I have no plan
To go on, and face the dawn
Without you, all right is wrong
Cause time stands still without you
I can’t not think about you
And though they say the earth’s still turning
For me, my world is burning up without you
I’m lost without you

I LOVE Iris and have every one of their albums.
This, for me, is their best album ever.
The only niggle I have is the mastering of album. There are electronic artifacts in a few of the tracks and the ticks in "Third Strike" move in a out of time with the beat. It's a real shame because it takes away from what would otherwise be a perfect album. jonmp
Robs voice and music is just plain awesome. always loved and enjoyed the music. wish I could see a performance where I live, or close to me anyway. keep up the music, Rob. please! Rusty Perry
Bandcamp is my favorite app. Without Bandcamp I would missed out on a lot of great music like Empathy Test! A wonderful album. Occasionally bombastic with nice synths and the voice of Isaac Howlett on top. Well done guys💪🏽 Fredschuit
