From Hollow Words

(album: Ashes Lie Still - 2022)

You bottle up and spend your years in squander
Nothing black and white
Friendships left to wonder
You won't hold back this beast
The spectre at the feast
A burden now released

From hollow words
The foundations of your lies are fucking burned
From hollow words
The foundations of your lies are fucking burned
To the ground where they smear and they smoulder
Filthy words can't shift that odour

Beauty lies in the eyes of your casualty
Fooled by your veil but we see
Don't fuck us three
Day by day, the grip is getting tight
From your habits, hiding in plain sight

Brick walls around every corner
Now we've smashed them down
You can't prolong the torture
Put them up we'll hit them hard and push through this
We ain't the ones that'll carry the scars

Just a thought, use your head
You selfish cunt
Without action this is all
Fucking dead, where we tread, we've bled

From hollow words
The foundations of your lies are fucking burned
From hollow words
The foundations of your lies are fucking burned
To the ground where they smear and they smoulder
Filthy words can't shift that odour

Beauty lies in the eyes of your casualty
Fooled by your veil but we see
Don't fuck us three
Day by day, the grip is getting tight
From your habits, hiding in plain sight

Take a look, at yourself
Can you tell what you've become?
Lock you up, and throw away the key
Just a product of, insane mentality
Take a look, a closer look
Deep inside what horrors do you hide?
Negligence, or abnormality
Be responsible, for your morality

Fuck your hollow words
Fuck your hollow words

Fuck your hollow words
Setting sights beyond your worth
Fuck your hollow words
We'll make our mark upon this Earth
Dead weight, left to sink
Nothing more than a broken link
Cut the cord before you rust
We won't dissolve with you
It can't diminish any of us

Take a look, at yourself
Can you tell what you've become?
Lock you up, and throw away the key
Just a product of, insane mentality
Take a look, a closer look
