hollow
my ancestors have access
hollow
i'm falling down the abyss
hollow
looking for some answers
generations of mothers sailing in
somehow they all were shipfolks
hollow
the ground is opening up
swallows
me up
the trunk of dna
now come forth
all species
hollow
like a bead in necklace
thread me
upon this chain
im part of it
the everlasting necklace
the everlasting necklace
jewels after jewels after jewels after
jewels after jewels after jewels
i yearn to be belong
Costanza & Tricky:
Doesn€™t matter about the time we take
Doesn€™t matter about the lies we make
Go slow
I think of how you€™re making me mad
I think of all the love we had
Feel so
Always question never quenching your thirst
Let me die when I lie to you first
I follow
When I€™m with you it€™s from within
I know you can see through my skin
I€™m hollow
I need you to feed me once more
I need you like I needed before
I€™ll grow
I€™m floating I€™m flying I€™m dying
I€™m floating I€™m flying I€™m dying
Tricky:
I said you needed like I needed before
Said you need me that you meet at five
You don۪t show I don۪t I۪۪m alive
My pulse slow
My pulse slow
Costanza & Tricky:
I€™m floating I€™m flying I€™m dying
I€™m floating I€™m flying I€™m dying
Liz Constantine (opera vocals in the background) & Costanza & Tricky:
I€™m floating I€™m flying I€™m dying
I€™m floating I€™m flying I€™m dying
(repeated)
What do you need to be high, to be here?
I catch your eye, now I'm lost in the tears
And it's hollow, but it's beautiful too
In the shadows, with the light coming through
Lay me down, lay me down
Lay me down, lay me down
What do you need to be warm, to be real?
I found a photograph of how we used to feel
And I'm drifting, but I'm riding it too
In the silence, with your voice coming through
Lay me down, lay me down
Lay me down, lay me down
Lay me down, lay me down
Lay me down
I wanna feel, wanna find what you are
Now that it's dark, we can see by the stars
And it's hollow, but it's beautiful too
In the shadows, with the light coming through
Lay me down, lay me down
Lay me down, lay me down
Lay me down, lay me down
What's left inside him?
Don't he remember us?
Can't he believe me?
We seemed like bothers
Talked for hours last month
About what we wanna be
I sit now with his hand in mine
But I know he can't feel...
No one knows
What's done is done
It's as if he were dead
I'm close with his mother
And she cries endlessly
Lord how we miss him
At least what's remembered
It's so important to make best friends in life
But it's hard when my friend sits with blank expressions
No one knows
What's done is done
It's as if he were dead
He as hollow as I alone now
He as hollow as I alone
A shell of my friend
Just flesh and bone
There's no soul
He sees no love
I shake my fists at skies above
Mad at God He as hollow as I converse
I wish he'd waken from this curse
Hear my words before it's through
I want to come in after you
My best friend
capture
the spirit of adversity
be sure to put the lid on tight
and watch it carefully
sew shut
the mouth of the river slut
the entrance to the place discussed
but hardly there for you
hollow
an evil bigger than you could know
has taken root
rapture
so what do you care
you know if it was up to me
I'd take you anywhere
hollow
an evil bigger than you could know
an evil bigger than you could know
an evil bigger than you could know
has taken root
hollow
an evil bigger than you could know
an evil bigger than you could know
an evil bigger than you could know
Hollow
Waking,
Falling stars from substratum
Who holds the key to break the old bonds?
Stare into space
Until you cannot see your face
[Chorus:]
I turn away
I turn, but never get back.
Trying hard to be someone,
In return you end up hollow.
Like a sinking ship I float.
A stormy sunny day, I turn away.
I've come to realize this is gone tomorrow
Brittle and frail, we (will) fall down
All that we are is a means to an end
It doesn't matter what you do
Give me your hand and open up your eyes,
And burn away -- release yourself
[Chorus]
I will not follow you across the silver sky of summer
And like someone from tomorrow I sense innocence
In my dreaming
I wasn't sleeping
Enchanted by fierce desire
Souls consumed with haunting fire
An empty guarantee
A stolen freedom
Deceptive illusions rise
Take the chance to mend your pride
Been tortured and humbled
Never again
Lost in a maze of sounds
Clarity escapes
The wispers chase you away
Numb and unaware
Hollow, the world where you belong
Lies you have believed for far too long
Laid low, life has come undone
Nothing stays the same, for time is all you own
All you own
Under a cold dead sky
In the sea you'll learn what you must be
Stretch for hell as you seek revenge
Bear the scars of your inhuman rage
Lost in a maze of sounds
Clarity escapes
The wispers chase you away
Numb and unaware
Hollow, the world where you belong
Lies you have believed for far too long
Laid low, life has come undone
Nothing stays the same
For time is all you own
(1.)
Depression ain 'the reason why everything turns grey
When my mind's been drained through the stream of frozen minds
The hollow one
And thousands have walked this narrow way
But I'm not that kind of man
I wanna stay in my old me
Not leave this peaceful space
(C1.)
But every step brings me further and further away
Away from the man I used to be
I'm hollow
I'm cleaned
all fantasies erased from the sleepless dreams
I'm empty
I'm blank
Lost in an ocean where my soul's been sunked
(2.)
Confused greets me when I awake
I'm feeling restless inside
Not even raised from bed I wanna scream it all out
My artificicial joy
From a mouth not mine
My hands are shaking of rage
Soon the last piece of me is gone
And nothing in my world
Can stop the hate inside from growing strong
(C2.)
I'm hollow
I'm cleaned
all fantasies erased from the dreamless sleep
I'm empty
I'm blank
Lost in an ocean where my soul's been sunked
(3.)
What I not know
I am not alone
They are all around
The hollow ones
all erased inside
I ain't here no mor
(Repeat 1.)
(C3.)
But every step brings me further and further away
Away from the man I used to be
I'm hollow
I'm cleaned
all fantasies erased from the dreamless sleep
I'm empty
I'm blank
Lost in an ocean where my soul's been cursed

Your need fills the hollow in me
You hit speed to slow the solemn in you
There's a time and a place
But this isn't it, this isn't it
Can I live with the hole?
Leaving you behind leaves
Without the plan or the plough
It gets bigger the seed
Of doubt, the seed
Like the click of a camera
The world's stopped for my scrutiny
I can magnify raindrops
And see what they slice through
I can push back forgotten
And ring in the new, ring in the new
Can I live with the space?
Leaving you behind leaves
Without wanting a light
Constellations appear
Is this my course?
With doubts?
Your need fills the hollow in me
And they say your life was marked
And you were wondering if it would ever start
Stop
Sunlight on a razor blade three different souls
And the lives they made
I grew up in the 80's in the palisades
I was listening to Devo
And everybody catered to their needs
Who were the most likely to succeed
Holly came out and Billy got paid
But Jenny got pregnant the first time she got laid
All my rage sits inside when even the finest things
Are leaving you hollow
And all my days left behind and even the finest things
Are leaving you hollow
Cut to an interior view
Holly married well but so did you
One was black one was blue
I was watching the days go by
Could you be seen in a silly dream?
Where Billy lives on Prozac and nicotine
Holly got her GED living in maternity
Nursing her broken heart for the love she lost
All my rage sits inside when even the finest things
Are leaving you hollow
And all my days left behind and even the finest things
Are leaving you hollow
And the sky is blue and so are you
Mary takes a drag off a cigarette
And the stereo is coming up behind her
Like she needs something to remind her
That life is richer in a minor key
Bill and Holly disagree, but I don't think so
All my rage sits inside when even the finest things
Are leaving you hollow
And all my days left behind and even the finest things
Are leaving you hollow
All my rage sits inside when even the finest things
Are leaving you hollow
All my rage sits inside when even the finest things
Sunlight on a razor blade
Three different souls and the lives they made
Well Holly came out and Billy got paid
One more step and I could fall away
If it happened would it matter?
And I can't tell if I should go or stay
Same old picture feels so hollow
How can anybody know what's best for me?
Another page I turn in shame
And my decisions brought me to my knees
I needed someone to blame
I feel so hollow
I feel so hollow
Time to do what's best for me
I believe I can change
Once upon a time in broken dreams
Reflections that I can't face
So hold your breath and make a wish for me
Take me to a better place
Time always seems to be passing by
It never waits for me
If I could do it all one more time
I wouldn't change a thing
I feel so hollow
(Feel so hollow)
I feel so hollow
(Feel so hollow)
I feel so hollow
(Feel so hollow)
I feel so hollow
(Feel so hollow)
Time to do what's best for me
I'll never feel again, I'll never feel again
and I wont have to feel this pain I'm in
I'll never feel again, I'll never feel again
and I wont have to feel this pain I'm in
If it sounds familiar, cuz nothing ever goes the way I planned
if it sounds peculiar, and you dont have to try and understand
I'll never feel again, I'll never feel again
and I wont have to feel this pain I'm in
I'll never feel again, I'll never feel again
and I wont have to feel this pain I'm in
I'm not a great example, of everything the world expects of us
no im no exception, question everything I used to trust
question of necessity or lust
I'll never feel again, I'll never feel again
and I wont have to feel this pain I'm in
I'll never feel again, I'll never feel again
and I wont have to feel this pain I'm in
It's as simple as you make it! It is complicated, as who you think you are!
Never found me a reason why
All I saw was a hollow sky
Did I set my sights too high
To find a path before me
I dreamt of shooting stars
I travelled out so far
Tried to signal where you are
But nothing could assure me
Inside, outside, any side
Still I'm looking for alibis
Cast aside close my eyes now I'm here
And the words seem hollow now
But I don't want to let you down
'Cause the world just came around
And everything is brighter
I was so unsure
'Til I found the door
And you let me in
When the flags have blown away
And the footprints started to fade
Will I find my way again
Or lose the path before me
I saw the leaves go brown
I saw them falling down
All my dreams lying on the ground
With nothing to assure me
Fall came, hard rain, clean again
I'm still waiting and mesmerised
Purified, close my eyes, now I'm here
And the words seem hollow now
But I don't want to let you down
'Cause the world just came around
And everything is brighter
I was so unsure
'Til I found the door
I remember,
who you are
If you take me back, I'll follow
Your eyes are bright in a tunnel of dark
You look different,
have you changed your ways?
You'll still be here tomorrow
That keeps you fighting for today
Walk with a dream in your bag
That you've carried through all
The good times and bad
You've follow the road
To the top of World
Too long
Deepest senses, patient time
Don't waste your final chances
You can not hold on to the fire
It makes no difference,
How it ends
The days have left you hollow
Too fast around the bend
Walk with a dream in your bag
That you've carried through all
The good times and bad
You've follow the road
To the top of World
Too long (2x)
[Instrumental]
Walk with a dream in your bag
That you've carried through all
The good times and bad
You've follow the road
To the top of World
In desolation
Life cut down
With misty eyes and breath so foul
A being, obscene
Hidden cries of future bound
To sure demise with nothing found
Rotten, vile, so undivine
Distress concealed
The demons so deep
Destined to be
Lost, Hollow
Empty shell, no tale to tell
To follow
Destined to be
Lost, Hollow
Tied down under a spell
To follow
In silent denial
A level of different lowness
To never see to be caught in the unreal
Nowhere near the fallen one
But everywhere under the sun
With nothing left behind
Now, come, see
To witness, to believe
How some glee
In sickness, not to be
Healed ny anyone
Oh, fates all sealed
No one will escape
[Solo: Ranta]
Today I woke up screaming, I can't believe it's true
Not much left for crying for this childish fool
I drift away from my pain, seventh frikin time
Mind in my delusion, I believe I'm dry to cry
I’m running my delusions as far as I can take
Agony is falling but insanity's delayed
I crucify my social life, I'm making it for real
Purify my ecstasy, can't believe it's truly me
(Can't believe it's truly me)
Caught up and drained in the eye of the storm
I'll fade away with the anger I hold
My dreams are denied...
I can't find a place where I belong!
I'm lying to myself and it's weakening my sight
Open up my troubles wide but the feeling is not right
I'll get away from my pain by talking to myself
Waiting for my fears to break, I have nothing more to
share
Caught up and drained in the eye of the storm
I'll fade away with the anger I hold
My dreams are denied...
I can't find a place where I belong!
Constant ringing inside me ears
Little demons inside my head
Static caught between my teeth
Outta focus, my thoughts in shreds
I don't know what to say to you
I don't know what the hell to do
This damn town is killing me
Maybe that's what I want it to
Hollow
I'm feeling so hollow
There's nothing inside me
I wonder who I am, this body is
Hollow
Everyday is always the same
Only got my self to blame
Can't go on, but I can't go back
So lethargic I forget my name
Something is missing, but I don't know what
If this is hell, I'm here to rot
Feels so empty inside of me
Got to fill this hole I got
Hollow
I'm feeling so hollow
There's nothing inside me
I wonder who I am, this body is
Sometimes when I lay down at night
I swear I can see to heaven
For it's in dreaming that the things I always knew
Are the only thoughts I have
And when I look up at you, love
Handsome as a magazine
Wild as the sun, like nothing below
Could ever pull you down
But it's a hard road that we follow
The saddest cities, and the darkest hollows
People cross this world
Over and then back again
Never even one time lift their eyes
Or think of what they say
But I hear it in your voice, love
Like someone sweetly willing
The hope of all these years
The prayer of a time that we don't even know
But it's a hard road that we follow
The saddest cities, and the darkest hollows
But I hear it in your voice, love
The strongest sound I've ever heard
Like water from a well so deep in the ground
I'll never thirst again
But it's a hard road that we follow
The saddest cities, and the darkest hollows
And everything that's far away
And was lost from me
The crust that holds your innards is what you lean on
Intestines inside are as hollow as the crust is thin
Enjoy the emptiness of fake happiness
Become the rightful owner of the unnecessary
Day by day you drift away from this reality
Every hour you lose some more of your self-esteem
You keep yourselves busy
By serving your masters
Slaves of society
Ignoring reality
Enjoy the emptiness of fake happiness
Become the rightful owner of the unnecessary
To gain more material
To improve exterior
To strive for excellence
To become superior
Enjoy the emptiness of fake happiness
Become the rightful owner of the unnecessary
Day by day you drift away from this reality
Every hour you lose some more of your self-esteem
My truth has been revealed, at the cost of everything I knew.
My last safe-haven falls behind me, with the self that once consumed.
Into the void.
I'm pursuing only answers.
I'm shedding skins and faces, past loves and bitter hatreds.
And it has come to pass, a path set in stone now breaks like glass.
The failings of yesterday become the catalyst to seek my change.
And it has come to pass, a path set in stone now breaks like glass.
The failings of yesterday become my catalyst.
So here I stand, a stranger to my newfound freedom.
I am a vessel.
I am a vessel without destination, devoid of direction.
No roles define me, yet conflict embraces me.
At the mercy if lucidity, I am adrift in a world all to real.
A hollow man.
Into the arms of eternal struggle, I must condemn my restless mind.
I must condemn my restless mind.
YEAH.
And it has come to pass, a path set in stone now breaks like glass.
The failings of yesterday become the catalyst to seek my change.
And it has come to pass, a path set in stone now breaks like glass.
The failings of yesterday become my catalyst, I seek the guidance gained from silence.
Illumination from within the darkness.
I heard an angel's voice,
singing in quiet prayer
It seemed to pull my heart,
slowly straight up the stairs
I spent that night awake,
though you lay fast asleep,
I saw a teardrop fall,
gently down your cheek
You still love him but she does too,
she'll take him far away from you
You still love him but she does too,
she'll take him far away from you
I crept out of the house,
and tip-toed to your room,
But found your body gone,
and left was just a hollow tomb
I think that love's like falling into the deepest sleep
I wake and try to move again
but find my body's rendered weak
I feel that just like walking down a railroad track
There's ghosts out in the square tonight screaming i want my money back
You still love him but she does too,
she'll take him far away from you
You still love him but she does too,
she'll take him far away from you
See the raging hearts
Waiting to explode
Tripping in the dark
They shift to overload
All they ask is to return
It surrounds you
Releasing all the pain
All the troubled times
Carrying that dead weight
I'm crushing the barriers of time
Keeping the hollow down inside
Away from the troubles that I've known
Waiting for the truth to finally show
Run alone again
On dark and winding roads
I reflect upon
This twisted web I've seen
It's so hard to return
Have they found me?
The light begins to fade
And I know it's time
Wash the sins away!
Approaching the barriers of time
Keeping the hollow down inside
Away from the troubles that I've known
Waiting for the truth to finally show
See the desperate hearts taking every turn
All that's come and gone
They borrowed and they burned
It's so hard to return
It surrounds you
Releasing the pain
All the troubled times
Carrying that dead weight
I'm crushing the barriers of time
Keeping the hollow down inside
Away from the troubles that I've known
Waiting for the truth to finally show
Approaching the barriers of time
Keeping the hollow down inside
Away from the troubles that I've known
Blind overwhelmed completion as your desires and atrocities
(come to pass) exposing your soul to weakness
all set deep beneath leaded glass
[chorus:]
Precious flesh and greed beyond your hopes
beyond your dreams
Hollow (curse)
fire in me
I can't feel
I can't breathe
Together externally boxed
in flesh entirely
Fulfillment of your pride self absorbed, never, ever satisfied
Visions of depth and confusion entangled with disturbance
and sin A time is called for atonement as this nightmare comes to an end.
[chorus]
In the blackened heart of all your fears circling around,
My days are counted get of my back.
You're forced into the void of my dreams.
Dead souls no hope all hollow.
Slice up old wounds so shallow.
There is a path to gain pleasure. Try it I'll give you my sorry word. Stand on your feet look straight ahead cause no one is twisting your arm. Searching for the right way back. Hold tight. Believe in our embrace.
Don't let them steal your thoughts.
open your eyes your fuckin blind you live a lie you helped design image and fame rule your whole life you feel no shame and its no suprise greed and obsession you choose your path based on possessions its all about cash all that you work for creates more trash all that you stand for i want to smash hollow i can see right through you hollow what you say and do hollow your so fucking fake hollow whats it gonna take
It felt like the sun
We are hollow
Light to the world
Film star
Define all the ways
We are hollow
I am ghost
You are song
So you walk
Way from me
Were you
Ever there?
You were
Too quick
Or cold to believe
Unbelievable
You can never fail
We can never fail
We can only go down south
In flames a place you forgot about
Oh, we are hollow
Light to the world
Film star
Define all the ways
We are hollow
I am ghost
You are song
Lights that freeze
Turn perfect scenes
Into sorrow
Don't slip away
With all the words
You had to say
You never had a prayer
You can never fail
We can never lose
We can only come down
Sink to your knees
Let the others fire, sound
When I fell out in the traffic
All their voices comin' at me
Comin' on in the street
She was every kind of creature
Every twisted up invention of a human face
We're going in for one more kill
And the sound of their machinery
Devoured so many languages
And all of them said
You'd be so ecstatic
To finally be with it
But fools will win the race
So dive back down to your bed
All your strength
Is about to be found
Crawling up
Out of the ground
Now play what you wanted to play
You say what you wanted to say
You finally found a way
All of the stars coming down
How did it feel
When you
Hit the ground
It felt like the sun
We are hollow
Light to the world
Film star
Define all the ways
We are hollow
I was the ghost
You were song
It felt like the sun
It felt like the sun
It felt like the sun
I was the ghost
You were song
It felt like the sun
"More and more and more she said
On a flat-back Tuesday in the wintertime
When you were ten miles gone and flying high
Not minding you could not even see the ground
Dropshot and deep-six of a little king
Oh your mind blank now with the turn of her back
On everything you too quickly gave up too soon
To be salvaged but it's alright
It's the same old thing
It's the old familiar rythm
Of your hollow heart
So hasty heart hangs now on every word and motion
Thought and action rolling from her hands
Saying what she said and what she did really matters
In the simple fact that I am nothing more than an
Open-hearted, heavy-handed dreamer of a man
Who wanted not much today-not ever
Wanted not much ever but just enough to get by awhile
And feel a little bit more than alright
It's the same old thing
It's the old familiar rythm
A mind lapse succumbed by fear
The framework fades then disappears
Unto my world this loneliness surrounds me
Trust foresees it's final wake
I close my eyes, it's breath I take
Denied and drained are years befallen from me
In these hours seized by memories
Reflective paths of light appear
I walk alone, I disappear
Now I watch you burn inside me
The truth is damned and empty
I breathe the ashes of your soul
That gives me silence, gives me peace
Gives me space, gives me release
In sullen thoughts, you make me feel so hollow
In these hours seized by memories
Reflective paths of light appear
I walk alone, I disappear
Tangled in this lifetime, tangled in it's sorrow
Moments of clarity, fade into tomorrow
Tangled in this madness, What was deep now shallow
If I believe in miracles, why do I feel so hollow
Change forced from disarray
Yesteryear wasted away
Sheltered from this shattered life within me
In these hours seized by memories
Reflective paths of light appear
I walk alone, I disappear
Tangled in this lifetime, tangled in it's sorrow
Moments of clarity, fade into tomorrow
Tangled in this madness, What was deep now shallow
If I believe in miracles, why do I feel so hollow
Now I see, truth in memories
Reflective paths have disappeared
I walk alone, I reappear
Tangled in this lifetime, tangled in it's sorrow
Moments of clarity, fade into tomorrow
Tangled in this madness, What was deep now shallow
If I believe in miracles, why do I feel so hollow
In darkest days, I'm on my own
Why do I feel so hollow
An open view, a fading soul
Why do I feel so hollow
If I believe the new and not the old
Why do I feel so hollow
I'm lost in truth from what was told
(Instrumental)
Instant paper, compromise
Audience stills survives
Underneath a bloody cape
Audience still escapes
Feeling torture on the page
Audience comes of age
Fucking donkeys, right disease
Blaming is never pleased
The eyes can't protect you through
The compromising I
Swore allegiance to
The lie!
Wicked paper, aspirates
Audience fearing hate
Over top, whats underneath
Audience is in defeat
Free to worry, keep the peace
Audience in disgrace
Someone's knocking on their knees
All he says: "Can't release"
The eyes I'll protect you through
The compromising I
Swore allegiance to
The lie!
The flies, self protection proves
The compost smelling piles
To pass on over to
A future...
Hollow...
Hollow... Sliding deep in it.
Hollow... Somethings full of shit
Hollow... Each and every bit
Hollow... Something smells like shit
cocked and loaded
pointed in my direction
no protection guess your gonna
hit me with it
slow implosion
no one knows what makes it all tick
guess we're gonna
burn out trying
hollow to the core we are
swallowed
broken by the mold
no one knows how we lost control
no one knows why
one explosion haunts you slow
and small it all is a speck of dust
you'll wipe right off in time
and when it all ends
how can you say you never were a slave
look em in the eye
and face it
no one knows
pointed in my direction
guess your gonna hit me with it
pointed in my direction
New home now this bloodstained cell kept under lock and key until considered well,
Decomposing bodies lie near putrid stench of death fills the air,
Living on the flesh of the dead, conversating with a severed head.
Hearing screams from tortured scenes punishments made on those in need,
Overcoming this murder of my mind
Drain my soul more with each time
The greedy and the fake are not of our kind
Can’t mash us down when they crossed lines
For the little we have we hold tight hold strong
Try tear my faith from out of my heart
No more pain no more suffering ever again
No more pain a level of no suffering
Can’t step forward
And there’s nowhere to step back
We’re stuck in this rut that nothing can cut
For the life of our friends I won’t betray
I vowed this before and I’ll vow this again
I worked my fingers to the bone for this
Living like a dead man walkin'
Voices in my head keep talking too
Everything's a paler shade of you
Nothing reaches me
Driftin' on an empty highway
Thought Isaw you passing my way
Days are long and lonely without you
And i'm breathless
Feeling reckless
Like i just cant stop and i dont want to
Be protected
Cause i'm nothing here on my own
Yeah you know i'm gonna
Follow where ever you go
Without you the world just feels so hollow
Surrounded by the empty spaces
I remember all the places you took but i'm fading into black
I want you to take me back
Crashing througha blank horizon
The more i close my etes the more its true
Nothings been the same cause i cant live this life without you
And i'm breathless
Feeling reckless
Like i just cant stop and i dont want to
Be protected
Cause i'm nothing here on my own
Yeah you know i'm gonna
Follow where ever you go
Without you the world just feels so hollow
I was on the outside
Looking in the nowhere to hide
Runnin fast to nowhere
Lost with nothing left inside
Nothin left inside
And i'm breathless
Feeling reckless
Like i just cant stop and i dont want to
Be protected
Cause i'm nothing here on my own
Yeah you know i'm feelin
Breathless, breathless
Like i just cant stop and i dont want to
Be protected
Cause i'm nothing here on my own
Yeah you know i'm gonna
Follow where ever you go
Without you the world just feels so hollow
Without you the world just feels so hollow
To you,
I’m all I’ve left undone.
I’m all I haven't won.
Lift me up, my soul’s so hollow.
Lift me up!
You take,
The breath you didn’t make.
What’s left you did forsake.
Lift me up, my soul’s so hollow
Lift me up, my soul’s so hollow
You can make me scream internally.
You can make me breathe eternally.
Yeah.
You see,
The things I cannot change.
The things that make me plain.
Lift me up, my soul’s so hollow
Lift me up!
We’ve made,
All from the sum of none.
All that we have become.
Lift me up, my soul’s so hollow.
Lift me up, my soul’s so hollow.
You can make me scream internally.
You can make me breathe eternally.
You can make me scream internally.
(Make me scream internally.)
You can make me breathe eternally.
(You can make me breathe, me breathe, me breathe)
(Yeah)
Fill, fill what’s in me.
Fill, fill what’s in you.
Fill, fill what’s in me.
So my soul’s not left so hollow!
You can make me...
Scream!
You can make me...
Breathe!
You can make me scream internally.
(Make me scream internally.)
You can make me breathe eternally.
(Make me breathe, me breathe.)
You can make me scream.
You can make me breathe. (Yeah)
You can make me scream.
You can make me breathe.
Say good-bye to me. I was once a shining sea.
A flower in the mud and weed, but now it's closer to me.
And I don't know if I believe. I don't know if I believe in me.
It's getting dark, too dark to see.
Lift the flower, carry me away.
Hollow, will you come for me.
So low, who will come for me.
Hung so pretty on the wall, like the one who came before.
Half way up inside alone, lives a pain inside me arm.
For every smile that ever died, I will cut what can't deny.
To the bone, let nothing hide. Please remember.
Hollow, will you come for me.
So low, who will come for me.
Isolation is disillusioning. I'm forever drawing nearer.
And I just want to sleep, sleep forever.
I don't know if I believe. I don't know if I believe in me.
Come inside the warmth and bleed, bleed forever.
Hollow, will you come for me.
all this sickness hard to swallow.
eats my insides until I'm hollow.
indecision, fornication, condemnation, to damnation.
this world is a breeding ground.
take a look at the bleeding ground.
adoration, temptation, contemplation, to frustration.
you'll fall apart. don't drag me down.
you rule this world with a synthetic crown.
kill each other for no reason to go against it, this is treason.
action, reaction, action, reaction.
all this sickness forced to swallow.
fills me inside, I must follow is this what you said for now?
is this what you want to see?
The words are losing their meanings
Statements are changed, fixed or denied
They are covered up and disguised
With or without awareness
Fools, pursuing uncertainty
They don' t know the reason why
Nothing satisfying anymore
Like it used to be
The reality is scary
Delusion is playing the role of truth
No one is brave any more
No one knows which one is pure
We are on a road
Which is enlightened by the dark
We are numb we are deaf we are blind
You spend the night trying to convince me to release you
in exchange for the silence, for the silence that will never come
What's inside me can't define me.
My true belief is in nothing, how long does it take to find something
searching but i can't find myself, a long, long time ago.
On my darkest day, should I show you my way.
i've given everything so give me your last word.
i know, im hollow. begging you to follow
on my darkest da, should i obey my way?
a monster with no name, accepting all of you.
i'm satisfied, alone inside, at home inside, alone inside.
My true belief is in nothing, how long does it take to find something
searching but i can't find myself, a long, long time ago.
Tell me what's the reason
Why you lead this world so hollow
Full of disappointment
Now your words don't mean a thing
Just get your ass up off that chair
And start to do something worthwhile
You promised more than you could give
Stop procrastinating
So ignorant and so full of shit
If you thought we'd be silent
You'd better prepare
Tell me what's the reason
Why you lead this world so hollow
Full of disappointment
Now we'd rather die than follow
Can't we wish for something brighter than this future?
Leader, can you hear us screaming?
Just wipe the tears off of your face
Yeah we all know you faked that shit
Stop wasting time 'cause this is not a f*cking play
It's real lives at stake
You're so ignorant and so full of shit
If you thought we'd be silent
You'd better prepare
Tell me what's the reason
Why you lead this world so hollow
Full of disappointment
Now we'd rather die than follow
Can't we wish for something brighter than this future?
Leader, can you hear us screaming?
Screaming
Why are you so hollow, so hollow?
Why are you so hollow, hollow?
Tell me what's the reason
Why you lead this world so hollow
Full of disappointment
Now we'd rather die than follow
Can't we wish for something brighter than this future?
RIGHT NOW I'M REACHING
THE POINT OF NO RETURN
I’M ENTERING THE EMPTINESS
REDEEMING MYSELF
FROM EVERYTHING I FEEL
FAR TOO LONG
I'VE WATCHED THIS SHOW
WHERE EVERYTHING IS NOTHING
I’M HOLLOW
THERE’S JUST THE FEAR
WHEN THE EYES ARE DRAWING NEAR
I’M HOLLOW
DEEP IN THE CORE
NOT EVEN A SHADOW
TO LIVE FOR
GAZING THE MIRROR
I SEE A HALFMOON BACKWARDS
AND I’M INSIDE OUT
THE FEAR IS GROWING
I’M FEELIN’ ALL SO CLEAR
THE EMPTINESS IS FILLING ME
I CANNOT CRY
I CANNOT LAUGH
Is this my face that I see in the mirror?
It doesnt quite look like me anymore
I see the lines and the pattern forming
This endless night has taken its toll
It takes its toll
On me
And Im damning every night
That I cant seem to get right
Stares from those hollow eyes
See every line
Time will
Time will tell if I make through these nights
Time will
Time will tell the reflection lies
And in the mirror, that motherfucker
Yeah, he knows better
Time will
Time will tell the reflection lies
Time will
Time will tell if I make through these nights
Im counting days in the reflection
And Ive pushed myself in the wrong direction
And what reflects is every night Ive spent
And what it shows are eyes so hollow
And every night
You come to me
crucify, whatever I will be
and your soul is filled with darkness
and your face is filled with hate
you try to punish me
stop it, you're killing me
I'm going deeper
Your smile is gone
your lips so cold
and you fill the air with blackness
and you fill my soul with grief
your eyes are cutting like two knives
your look is killing me
I'm roaming through the mist in the night
searching for a place to hide
I fall into this hollow
God please turn down these voices in my head
Cause someone inside sure wants me dead
(Dead) Ends all I see
Made a mighty hard, mighty bad woman outta me
"Why not get a bit too numb?"
Aint gots no home, Aint gots no one
(One) more for my pride
Then give me just a little more cause I'm hollow inside.
(yeah)
Why I even wake up? You know its getting even harder to see...
What you gonna say that aint worse than I already say to me?
I try to lift myself up off the ground
cause I'm hardly ever up, and they kick me when I'm down
(down) here on the floor, watchin everybody soar so I do a little more
"Why not get a bit too numb?"
Aint gots no home, Aint gots no one
(One) more for my pride
And give me just a little more cause I'm hollow inside.
(yeah)
Why I even wake up? You know its getting even harder to see...
What you gonna say that aint worse than I already say to me?
Man come on. Hit me with your best shot.
La la la la lalalaaa... Hollow Hollow... How Low? How Low?
Hollow eyes
Hollow lives
Hollow people
In disguise
Betrayal and betrayed
Envy and hate
That's what it's all about
-maybe you got the world blind
-but i know you deep inside
-im gonna wait to expse you
-one day i will know the truth
pre:-then youll come round (come round)

pre-chorus
-never thought id see you fall apart
-never thought id look into your eyes
-i, i
chorus
-youre hollowlike m
-yeah, yeah
-like me
With the hollow echo in a soundless night
I woke to see solitude grieving over my emotion
And as it wept its liquid nourished my disease
Soon all myself became infected
And so onward it began to spread
A fervent sentiment my inside so has sheltered
It means more wicked than ones ever set before
Tremulous ghastly sighs of a time long now past
Embrace my newborn fear
It beckons me forth so sad and gloomy
Drawing weakened limbs with its fragrances
Sudden air filled with the sound of its hurt
Composes an elegy of weep
Ahead shines my fortune
But here darkness ends my path
Never will the bliss of that embrace
Take over this solemn curse
What I hear now is the cry
Of the mother of time
In darkness I lie
Cold hand
Is clutching my heart
No sweet lullaby
No way, it tears me apart
Snake in paradise
Delight turns to woe
The smile in your eyes
Why can't it let me go?
Those eyes, that gaze
I feel so hollow
It burns in my heart
It hurts my soul
I'm praying for night
To take away my pain
But instead I fight
To find you again
So it comes to this
Such promise through eyes of youth
A child's blinkered view
The world that could have been
I've struggled with the truth
Denied the filth I've seen
A hope for a better tomorrow
For fruit amongst the thorn
This life has long since rotted
All happiness stillborn
No solace 'midst a spreading mist
Of helplessness and scorn
There waits a new horizon
A calm surpassing storm
An emptiness so beautiful
A nothingness so sublime
This Godless void internal
Echoes from a soulless cry
The pain of life is killing me
All that I do tends to turn out the same my intentions
are good yet they
get twisted by the pain
when will I see trough the dark mists of sleep will I
break free from the
veils of deceit
My vision fails each time I try to see
beyond the walls i've made in my mind
My vision fails altough I try to be a man
who's not afraid of sreams
Dawn comes again to erase the mists of sleep and I
know what is real
The world is drifting into chaos and chaos grows with
each new day
Our time is waning and our debts stand to be payed
We try to fake the laws of nature ut nature's hard to
understand
we toy with fate with our puny eagy hands
Destruction, passion lives in vain
Hide in dreams while the world screames in pain
When will we break the chain
Break the Chain!
Break the patern of your ways
We take so many thingsyet the price can't be to high
Then she was patient,
Charted a gun
With an aspiration to more
Drafted a true one, smoked like a new one
Signaled home right up to the Lord
Singing:
Sacrifice family ranger’s daughter
Situation’s growing big
Prognosis heavy, down by the water
Gonna bang some Jepson Creek
Floating steady, peaceful tide
Nothing sure will come of love
Silent drifting, ripper’s Wride
Giving life to all of ‘em
Singing:
Sacrifice lovin’ ranger’s daughter
Situation’s growing big
Prognosis heavy, down by the water
Gonna bang some Jepson Creek
Rest all you wicked dieing in vain
With the … crawl from you
Meet my blessing, longing to rain
Love them fields of morning dough
Singing:
Sacrifice lovin’ ranger’s daughter
Situation’s growing big
Prognosis heavy, down by the water
I ride the mist of the morning sun the hunt has just
begun where can I run?
Am I an animal? beast or man? each day distorting me -
each grain of sand
I beg for Mercy I cry for relief my twisted features a
mirror to grief
the spell is working my pityledd liege but soon will
come the ay of retribution
Stand or fall repent your sins
heed my call the righteous wins
I will return from my exile to take revenge on you
deceitful prince
you shall regret what you've laid on me and face your
bitter end and I'll
be freed I will resume what is rightfully mine I've
read the stars yes,and
I've seen the signs
you will stand challanged your life will be mine in
two hands I'll break the
spell that binds me
Be this the birth of an endless crusade I will not
rest till all depts have been paid
shine in the light where but justics prevails the
The night is closing in I hear the beating wings
He's nearer than before - He's coming to get me
I have no way to see if this is real or dream
My thoughts are blurred and I can find no reason
yet he has opened the door he's from the other side
From him I cannot hide his will commands my actions
soon I will abide
Take Me tonight I am yours
When the Night is over I will feel no sorrow
When tomorrow's come When the night is over
I will fell no sorrow I will miss no one
When the night is over I will be gone
They think I've lost my mind lost my mind but really
they are blind
They cannot see that he's as real as real can be
He stands for truth in my lie
His black wings beckon to me his eyes they shine with
glee
the blade is shining too and soon I will be free
This life is slowly leaving the knife unlocks the door
and when my lungs stop breathing
Feels like my heart has turned to stone
The lights are on but no one's home
Look inside me but I'm hollow
It feels like I've got nothing left
That nothing beats inside my chest
There's no mystery just sorrow
You're the only thing that's real
You're the only one I feel
Light a fire inside this empty heart
Get up down here on my knees
You're the only one I need
Light a fire inside this empty heart
Feels like there's chains strapped to my feet
Holding me back from being me
Is there strength that I can borrow?
And I do the same things everyday
Watching time just fade away
Is there a pill that I can swallow?
You're the only thing that's real
You're the only one I feel
Light a fire inside this guilty heart
Get up down here on my knees
You're the only one I see
Light a fire
Light a fire
Light a fire inside this empty, empty heart
You're the only thing that's real
You're the only one I feel
Light a fire inside this empty heart
Get up down here on my knees
You're the only one I need
Light a fire inside this empty heart
Cause I'm yours
Cause I'm yours (you're the only one I see)
Cause I'm yours (you're the only one I need)
It's time for my decision
I'm coming back from hell
Return from my damnation
And running away to find a way
Nothing can't stop me escape from the dark
So many years from the evil apart
Locked like a beast in a cage with my fate
No more regret for my sins and hate, no
And all these years under evil spell
So now I'm straight back from hell
I'm gonna hollow
I'm gonna give you all my life
I'm gonna hollow
Screaming in the night
Black angels from hell flying through the sky
The demons surround me and screaming "You die!"
I'm gonna hollow
Hollow in my mind
Hollow inside
The scars in my face now will show you my faith
The shadows in darkness now will be my friends
Soldiers of evil - Creatures of death
They come from the blackness to take my last breath
Under the sign of reigning blood
Under the dark horizon
And all these years under evil spell
So now I'm straight back from hell
I'm gonna hollow
I'm gonna give you all my life
I'm gonna hollow
Screaming in the night
Black angels from hell flying through the sky
The demons surround me and screaming "You die!"
I'm gonna hollow
It's pitch black but the headlights are blinding.
I'm spinning out of control.
But writing won't always give me the strength I need.
I'll write my pains away until my fingers bleed.
You found me searching for myself while I was looking for that person.
I lost track of the important.
Things that make me who I am,
Oh I was lost in your connection.
Always reaching for perfection.
When society brings you to your knees,
Throw the negativity
Right in their face.
Rise above the hate.
Make something of yourself,
Destroy all in your way.
All I know is sadness.
All I feel is emptiness.
My heart is running dry,
As time flies by.
All I know is sadness.
All I feel is emptiness.
I'm so hopeless.
There's so much regret inside these hollow bones.
I hope you can see, how much all this means to me,
It's so quiet walking along the edge
It won't be long now till I forget who I am
I am so afraid to move forward
All the mistakes I've made surround me
So I run away, I cannot face
What I'm throwing away
It's just as well, you could always tell
When I was hollow
I never asked for this, happy just to breathe
But now what I've done here, means nothing to me
I look inside and I feel so small
I am never good enough to become what you already are
So I run away, I cannot face what I'm throwing away
It's just as well, you could always tell when I was hollow
So once again, I have let you win the game of giving me a voice
The pill has been swallowed, but I am still hollow
I look back upon my life
And see what's been denied
And I try to face it
But I can ever seem to erase it
So I run away, I cannot face what I'm throwing away
It's just as well, you could always tell when I was hollow
So once again, I have let you win the game of giving me a voice
Feelings I don't understand
Emotional states I can not explain
Emptyness with no apparent cause
You say I'm broken heal me if you can!
Using admiration as a substitute for love
Working to suppress the feelings based on my reflexions
Trying not to think
So afraid, would I brake?
Invisible for those I love
Can you see me? Take me as I am!
Using admiration as a substitute for love
Working to suppress the feelings based on my reflexions
Existing like a sleepwalker
Wake me up, take my hand and give me what i need!
Playing with the tought of failure Could it be my saviour?
Hollow
Empty hollow shells human fragile minds
An endless echo swells
Faded memories clueless state of minds
Staring from the inside out
The confusion so overwhelming
Slicing through your mind and soul
Hate and love intertwined without boundaries
Venomous tongues, hollow eyes
Lies and death where has this world gone, just empty
shells
Cold as ice, staring blindly into oblivion
Give strength to this weary soul, helpless kneeling in
pain
The serpents tormenting your flesh
Draining the life out of you
Hate and love intertwined without boundaries
Venomous tongues, hollow eyes
Lies and death where has this world gone, just empty
shells
Hate and love intertwined without boundaries
Venomous tongues, hollow eyes
Lies and death where has this world gone, just empty
IT's no big deal
I wanted you but you don't feel the same
I'm over you
I'll tell myself til I forget your name
That I'm the best that you'll never have
IT's a chain
That I can't face that
I guess you're no heart breaker
Give it up
You're never gonne give me
Stop pretending
I tell myself
We're looking in the mirror
They say and walk away
'Cause you're no heart breaker
No matter what they say
Call you four times
But she was busy leaving me behind
So obvious
That she's got plans with someone else tonight
And it just huts all over again
That she was never mine
I guess your no heart breaker
Give it up you're never gonna get her
Stop pretending
I tell myself we're looking in the mirror
They say and walk away
'Cause you're no heart breaker
No matter what they
The truth is I
Will never be the same
And all this time
I thought that she would change
The memory remains
And I just feel so hollow
So hollow
I guess you're no heart breaker
Give it up
So give it up!
You're no heart breaker
Give it up you're never gonna get her
Stop pretending
I tell myself we're looking in the mirror
They say and walk away
You're no heart breaker
No matter what they say
No heart breaker
Stop pretending
I tell myself we're looking in the mirror
They say and walk away
You're no heart breaker
No matter what they say
An identity based on what you're told to buy,
Self indulgent behavior to mask the fear inside,
Don't want to be isolated or left behind,
As you live to consume, waste, pollute and die.
What your life lacks you could never buy
The mask you wear is such a weak disguise
I can still see your face through the cloud of lies
Bite your tongue and swallow your pride
But there's no satisfaction and this image dies
Under an ordinary conversation steeped in deep sorrow
Waiting for confidence to rise and song
'Why is it the only time the truth is said is when
The bottle empties from your head' I said
Tell me who decides
While honey walls conceal my complication
they deceive my aim it seems in finding where I
Want to be, means I'll lose some game
Well I'll talk to you but..
When you talk to me can you do it truthfully
Either other people have or everyone I know must
Be Hollow
With another who squeezes and brother using Jesus
To tell me where I've gone wrong, born is the need for
Something greater than the need that carries on and on
Gone are the ways of guilt and holding shadows that
Were built they fall down as I talk to you but
When you talk to me can you do it truthfully
Either other people have or everyone I know must
Be Hollow
What do I own in this life where is my home
Tell me something new and I'll talk to you but
When you talk to me can you so it truthfully
Either other people have or everyone I know must
Be Hollow
What do I own in this life, where is my home
Tell me something new and I'll talk to you but
When you talk to me can you do it truthfully
Either other people have or everyone I know must be
Hollow
I'll talk to you but when you talk to me
Can you do it truthfully, either other people have
Or everyone I know must be Hollow
I look into eyes, but I can’t tell if they’re mine.
The words coming off my tongue feel like delicately
polished,
practiced lines.
In my head I know my face,
but I haven’t shown it for so long now,
that I might now know how.
Every day I’m someone else, someone different,
but I swear that you could never tell that I’m hollow.
I’m hollow. I fill the emptiness with things that aren’t
real,
to see if I can feel less hollow,
but I know it’s only temporary. It’s temporary.
In my head I know my face,
but I haven’t shown it for so long now,
that I might now know how.
Every day I’m someone else, someone different,
Stay so i can breathe in your air
Then i'll never have to share you
With anyone, anyplace, or anytime
Just don't keep me guessing
I can't bleed you from my mind
All that we do won't leave us empty
I'm here always, i will never let you go
I'm here always, you will never be alone.
They can say that i'm hollow
But i won't let you go, i won't.
At least i said i'm sorry,
Even though it makes you worry
That i won't pretend i like your friends.
Everytime it makes me crazy
When they come around
And kick me to the ground.
All that we do won't leave us empty
I'm here always. i will never let you go
I'm here always, you will never be alone
They can say that i'm hollow
But i won't let you go, i won't.
Just stop, it's not that bad,
Look at all the things we have.
I've got you to keep me laughing.
Shut up, why aren't you happy?
All that we do won't leave us empty.
I'm here always i will never let you go,
I'm here always you will never be alone.
They can say that i'm hollow
But i won't let you go.
I'm here always
I will never let you go,
I'm here always
You will never be alone.
They can say that i'm hollow
But i won't let you go
Resentment is all I ever had
Don't forgive me for being the person I am
Hopelessness
Is what has become of this
I'll walk away
It won't face me
Don't ask for my thoughts again
The rebirth of us did not exist
The part you missed,
The part you missed in my eyes
Her birth did not exist
Did not exist
Give me my life back
Invent me a cure
Erase all my memories and my unborn
What is this life for because when it rains it pours
They always say its calm after the storm
Im the unborn, not the child I ignored,
I have been torned a dozen times before
Its bittersweet and all I want is the cure for something pure
Is this my curse, x2
It's not a curse it's a blessing
You're too blind to see any meaning
You're too fucked to see what it's done to me
Take everything
Give me my life back, x2
What is this life for because when it rains it pours
They always say its calm after the storm
Im the unborn, not the child I ignored,
I have been torned a dozen times before
Its bittersweet and all I want is the cure for something pure
What is this life for because when it rains it pours
They always say its calm after the storm
Im the unborn, not the child I ignored.
I have been torned a dozen times before
Its bittersweet and all I want is the cure for something pure.
