Hollow

(album: Remains - 2019)

[Ivan B:]
Yeah

The more I try to balance, the more I seem to fall
I think I'm moving on and then I'm sending out a call
I paint my pain for you to see, but no one gets the picture
If I take a sip from sin, I might be drinking out the pitcher, uh
The later I stay up I always start to overthink
They say, "Don't bottle up your feelings," they'll just hand you what to drink
Then your face is in the toilet, this time it's in a sink
Hard to let go of your past when that's the only thing you keep
Living life like things would change, but you don't wanna change a thing
Used to see it, me and you, why is it always only me?
Man, I'm tired of feeling sad, is this the only thing I'll be?
I can't pick up where we started when God told me, "Let it be"
Broken pieces I don't pick up, it'll cut you if you try
You got no F's to give in life? I read it, that's a lie
Everyone is gonna feel, a lot of us don't show it
A lot of us don't care 'cause a lot of us are broken

Hollow, hollow
Hollow
Hollow, hollow

They say life is bittersweet, a lot of bitter that I'm tasting
Cloud nine is pretty nice until life hits you with the pavement
Every season falling out, looking up, but feeling down
Look, it's not the ones you're with, but who you wanna keep around
I kept some people in my life, like, "Maybe I can fix it"
More pieces that I put in, more pieces that I'm missing, listen!
You don't gotta listen, I'm just out here being honest
My life is full of fire, I don't care 'bout who's the hottest
Can I put some food on the tables for me and my family?
Can I make a living for the ones who working surround me?
Can I overcome the pressure, prove you wrong if you doubt me?
Can I overshadow all the shadows that live inside me?
I can't be your future if you're looking back to your past
I can't fix anything if you're not fixing your back
Sometimes I wonder if it's worth it, all the pain for the happiness
Anything that fills you up can also fill you with hollowness, yeah

[Kaluna:]
Hollow, hollow
Hollow
Hollow, hollow
Hollow

Hollow, I can't see what I've become
I don't need this empty love
But I know I can't keep moving on
Hollow, won't fall back on what I know
'Cause I can't bear to see you go
All alone and now I'm cold, and

Hollow

If I'm not growing as a person, then what am I doing?
Told myself that I'm fine, like, you gotta keep moving
The more that I gain, the more I feel like I'm losing
Yeah, the more that I gain, I wonder when I'ma lose it
Tell me, what's the top when you make it there and you're on your own?
What's the biggest house if it doesn't feel like home?
What's all the money when you spend your time all alone?
Crazy how we want the things we had before we let them go
