Hollowed Out
[Verse 1]
Pay for life's ballet
Lock your heart away
Save for rainy days
And watch the clouds betray
Blessed be that ecstasy will trace me
Muffled pleas dragged by fumes and maybes
Another day, death by what the ledgers say
Welcome home
[Pre-Chorus]
Disappointment comes in waves
Washes all your dreams away
[Chorus]
I’m falling back into the night
Hollowed out
I close my eyes and dream of light
For too long now
The needle moves when I'm in sight
Reaching out
I close my еyes and grasp at light
For too long now
[Verse 2]
Promise me smilеs
As wide as the sea
Collect on your lies
And watch them bury the key
Cursed be that my hopes will chase me
Shadowed hands knocked by those betraying
Another day, death by what the strangers pay
Welcome home
[Pre-Chorus]
Disappointment comes in waves
Washes all your dreams away
[Chorus]
I'm falling back into the night
Hollowed out
I close my eyes and dream of light
For too long now
The needle moves when I’m in sight
Reaching out
I close my eyes and grasp at light
For too long now
[Post-Chorus]
I'm running to, I'm running too, I'm out of view
I'm trying to, not begging you, It's been too long
I'm running to, I'm running too, It’s out of view
I’m begging you for too long now
[Bridge]
A house of cards nailed with blood and tears
Lined with portraits of crushing years
Don't cover the rotting walls
Keep them exposed as proof to all
Watching our memories drown
Foundation’s flooded and it's pouring down
I'm not alone, you're all around
I think it’s time we burn it down
[Chorus]
I'm falling back into the night
Hollowed out
I close my eyes and dream of light
For too long now
The needle moves when I'm in sight
Reaching out
I close my eyes and grasp at light
For too long now
[Post-Chorus]
I'm running to, I'm running too, I'm out of view
I'm trying to, not begging you, It's been too long
I'm running to, I'm running too, It's out of view
I'm begging you for too long now
