Hollow

Turned upside down and inside out
No one to blame is nobody’s fault
Me, suffocated by my emptiness
You, fading away with no regrets

Feeling strangled by my own pain
Body is aching and my soul screaming in vain
Breathless like under water grasping
Quicksand of time shaking and dragging

Life in the dust hanging by a thread
Life is so frail I know I’m already dead
My eyes wide open and all I see is black
I look ahead and all I see is my past instead

I don’t want to open my heart anymore
I’m afraid of whom is lurking behind the door
Another page to turn, another turn on the winding road
Another mountain to climb, another wall to blow

I’m brewing my disgust and my own poison
To feed the liars, the false and the traitors
I shine the dark into the light
Fear of the night no longer fright

Inside my soul is crumbling my eyes are dry longing for a tear
Every day that goes by I believe that this is what I most feared
Have you here so closeto me and let you slide
Looking at you so far from me instead of having you by my side

Hollow
