The Hollow (feat. Andy Cizek)

Wake in mourning
Remember all I’ve lost
Aches forewarning
Of misery to come

Shame bleeds through me
Let by a sharpened cross
Hate consumes me
I am the wicked one

Still waiting for my day of reckoning
But heartless self-indulgence beckons me
Save me
The voices in my head are deafening
These chemicals will never set me free
Save me

I don’t need you anymore
Just leave me here and shut the door
I don’t need you anymore
Leave me strung out on the fucking floor

No reflection
Can’t recall who I was
Choked confessions
Of all the pain I’ve caused

Tried to follow
The trail of blood I’ve spilled
Mind feels hollow
Time for another kill
I will never learn my lesson

There is no hope left inside
Only agony
Someday I will die
Knowing everything
Is the fault of mine

Vultures inside my head
They scratch and they claw while I lie in bed
Constructing a nest out of my regrets
Mutilating until I wish I were dead

Tell me how I can make amends
For stepping on all of my so-called-friends
And selling my soul just to get ahead
Only to live a life overcome with dread

And every time I think I’ve reached the end
Running in circles again and again and again
All the blood I’ve bled
Re-forms in the shape of a new omen
Oh God

Deep in the hollow live things you can’t unsee
So keep your eyes closed, or you’ll become like me
Broken
