"Hollow" lyrics

Oh (I was somebody, was somebody, I was)
Oh (I was somebody, was somebody, I was)

Load another one in the chamber pointed at me
Don't want to admit it, but I'm definitely happy
You call me somebody, but I swear I'm only half me
Swear I'm only half me, what the hell is happening?
Just wanted the truth, seldom find it when it's needed
I can see your voice, but I never hear you speaking
You gave me a heart just to take away its beating
Wasn't in the cards for me to find a sense of meaning

My soul carries a message
Death is just a rite of passage
But I'm still looking past it
Is the silence everlasting?

Suffocate again at the hands of being honest
Thought you were my friend, but you're barely even conscious
Finally found the key, once I held it, then I lost it
Held it, then I lost it, permanently haunted
Just give me the truth, never find it while I'm breathing
Just wanted to know, is it real, or am I sleeping?
You gave me the key, went to hell just to retrieve it
Rusted out, and now I'll never know what's underneath it
Just show me the truth, seldom find it when I'm asking
I believed in you, but you left me in a casket
Wasn't even true; it was scripted, it was crafted
Genuine reactions, watch you turn to ashes

My soul carries a message
Death is just a rite of passage
But I'm still looking past it
Is the silence everlasting?

Rusted out, and now I'll never know what's underneath it
Is the silence everlasting?
