"Hollow Vessel" lyrics

"Hollow Vessel"

Every night, I like to see how long I can go (Till I disintegrate)
Pick myself apart, piece by piece, dying slow
Isolate, inner voices so loud, hard to ignore
Isolate, time slips away, behind closed doors
It forces me inside
Under the storm, I wither away
Pick up the pieces
One by one
They tell a story
Of a world undone
It was written without an end

Locked in a world with no way out
This is not a life, it's a fight to survive
Hollow, hollow vessel
Leave me with my demons to wrestle
Shut in, as day fades into night
This is not a life, it's a fight to survive
Hollow, hollow vessel
Leave me with my demons to wrestle

Every night, I like to see how long I can go (Keeping my sanity)
Before I open my eyes, awake again, in this black hole
It forces me inside
Under the storm, I wither away
Pick up the pieces
One by one
They tell a story
Of a world undone
It was written without an end

Locked in a world with no way out
This is not a life, it's a fight to survive
Hollow, hollow vessel
Leave me with my demons to wrestle
Shut in, as day fades into night
This is not a life, it's a fight to survive
Hollow, hollow vessel
Leave me with my demons to wrestle

Hollow, hollow vessel
Leave me with my demons to wrestle
In a dogfight with myself
I'm playing out of bounds
Teeth are showing
Rage is growing
Stand my ground
You're down for the count
Down for the count
Down for the count
Down for the count
