Hollowed Out

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 Disappointment comes in waves Washes all your dreams away 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 Promise me smiles 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 Disappointment comes in waves Washes all your dreams away 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 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 It's running to, I'm running too, It's out of view I'm begging you for too long now 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 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 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 It's running to, I'm running too, It's out of view I'm begging you for too long now
