"Hollow" lyrics

"Hollow"

Waking
Falling stars from substratum
Who holds the key to break the old bonds?
Stare into space
Until you cannot see your face

I turn away
I turn, but never get back
Trying hard to be someone
In return you end up hollow
Like a sinking ship I float
A stormy sunny day, I turn away

I've come to realize this is gone tomorrow
Brittle and frail, we (will) fall down
All that we are is a means to an end
It doesn't matter what you do
Give me your hand and open up your eyes
And burn away... release yourself

I turn away
I turn, but never get back
Trying hard to be someone
In return you end up hollow
Like a sinking ship I float
A stormy sunny day, I turn away

I will not follow you across the silver sky of summer
And like someone from tomorrow I sense innocence
In my dreaming
I wasn't sleeping

I turn away
I turn, but never get back
Trying hard to be someone
In return you end up hollow
Like a sinking ship I float
A stormy sunny day, I turn away
