Hollow

(album: Haunted House And Other Stories - 2014)

Numb to pain
Does anybody out there know how to break the chain?
I'm locked here in a cage
Lies inside
It's feeling like all the rest of me has died
To protect me from my rage

Now I'm just a ghost
A shell of what I should be
I break, skin and bone
Aren't strong enough to keep me
Safe from the afflictions of tomorrow
They've eaten me away, leaving me hollow

Scared to face
The monsters in the dark that haunt this cursed place
They're laughing at me now
A voice in the dark
Tells me all I need is just a spark
To burn this prison down somehow

Now I'm just a ghost
A shell of what I should be
I break, skin and bone
Aren't strong enough to keep me
Safe from the afflictions of tomorrow
They've eaten me away, leaving me hollow

I hope you've seen
Why you should stay away from me
My bones are lined with pain
I'm a skeleton with thoughts fading away

Now I'm just a ghost
A shell of what I should be
I break, skin and bone
Aren't strong enough to keep me
Safe from the afflictions of tomorrow
They've eaten me away, leaving me hollow

(Leaving me hollow)
