HOLLOW LIKE ME LYRICS

1. You Need To Know

Blinded sights of altered vision Corresponds to self deception
I haven't proved anything
To make this worth while
I'm dropping to my knees screaming
"This is my life"
Pulling every ounce of blood
Taking the sanity of a boy
Who once believed in everything
Has everything already happened?

Deterring sights
In the wrong direction
Judgement placed in opposition
Take this picture
Insanity holds its grips within
Its memory of a lifetime

[2x:]
Collapse the lungs
Twist the bones
Destroy my heart
There's always a way out

[Chorus:]
Piecing back together
My tattered and broken mind
I will stop at nothing
To capture my sanity
My lips part but no words come out
Even when I think I've lost it all
I can still hold strong

You've guided me so high
To just bring me down
Even perfectionists have their flaws
That doesn't mean I'll have mine
Ha-ha-ha-ha

The will to fight is no more
It's been lost in the abyss
Of my mind
???
You've never looked so beautiful
You need to know
That you are beautiful

[Chorus:]
Piecing back together
My tattered and broken mind
I will stop at nothing
To capture my sanity
My lips part but no words come out
Even when I think I've lost it all
I can still hold strong

It's getting inside my head
It's in my head
I'll rip it out
Get out

Get out of my head

The devil loves his company
And so do I
We'll paint this picture of a dream
We have fore sought to see
It's given up more
Than my own properties
Within my own mind

[Chorus:]
Piecing back together
My tattered and broken mind
I will stop at nothing
To capture my sanity
My lips part but no words come out
Even when I think I've lost it all
I can still hold strong

2. Lost At Sea

Wading through the waters
Of the lost and the scared
Searching for a reason
To reunite with the damned
I'm lost like all of them
No shoreline in sight
Where am I now?
I've lost all sense of time
I couldn't be less aware
Now you're searching for
That message in a bottle

It's so much easier to give in
To just drown in it all
The waves tower over me
In this desolate storm
And I've got no way out
Of this mess I've made.

Despair starts to take its hold
I clench my fists
And drunken madness
Is all that I have
Leading me to the grave
And I'm the one
That carelessly follows
It's like I'm lost at sea
Lost in the sea
Of my own fucking mind
I'm desperately trying
To keep my head above water
While constantly drowning
In the lies of the hypocrites
That surround me
What is the point of it all?

[Chorus:]
Alone with me, myself, and I
There's nobody here to hear my cry
Bide my time, close your eyes
All hope seems so lost
And I'm searching for that light
And I can survive
The taste of salt I'll never forget
Here, there's nothing
That I can regret

The undertow drags me through
My lungs are filled with water
There is no eye to this storm
I've got to hold my own

[Chorus:]
Alone with me, myself, and I
There's nobody here to hear my cry
Bide my time, close your eyes
All hope seems so lost
And I'm searching for that light
And I can survive
The taste of salt I'll never forget
There's nothing that I can regret

The storm is coming
Fuck

3. Time Heals All Things

I won't stand still
And I can't wait
I'll make my dreams a reality

This feeling in my throat
Make it go away
It'll be a long time
Before I feel ok
Time heals all things
But the void you left
Will always stay
I need to wake up
I need to wake up
From this disturbing dream
Before I let my noted past
Catch up to me

A glimpse of light
Gives the weakest man
Something to cling to
Imagining the perfect image
Of what I've made of you
I am holding on to you
I'm holding on to you
Through the depths I've created
Though I put myself here
I know I can make it out

[Chorus:]
I can't just sit and watch myself
Drown in my own mistakes
Something has to change
This pain has to go away
As deep as my scars run
I know time can heal everything
Once I've learned who I am inside
I can rise up

I am holding on
To the memories
And the dreams
And all the times I've reached out
I will make you know
That I'm here until the end
This tension pulls me closer
To the fall
Losing all feeling
I don't regret
I simple live
This wasn't something I've learned
It's something we all have to face
Through the depths I've created
Though I know I put myself here
I know I can make it out

[Chorus:]
I can't just sit and watch myself
Drown in my own mistakes
Something has to change
This pain has to go away
As deep as my scars run
I know time can heal everything
Once I've learned who I am inside
I can rise up

Let me live my life
I can move on

4. Corrupted Lives

You keep trying to get under our skin
We'll dig you out with a scalpel
Like the parasite you are
We put our faith in too much
So it's so fickle and so weak
Hoping and searching
For the will to move on
Go ahead and tear us down
With every word you speak
It brings us up
And up we won't back down
From the likes of you
You're the last thought
Inside our minds
Keep dreaming
I won't be the one
That falls this time

Speak your mind
Cause we sure as hell
Will do the same
Fuck you and everything
That you stand for
Don't pretend you can live our lives

[Chorus:]
Why do I let you build me up?
When I know you'll just tear me down
I should know by now
That there is nothing
Left to prove to you
I've got a mind of my own
A heart of my own
To do with what I please
Untangle your web of lies
That's so clearly tying me down

I've been told to be someone else
To abandon my dreams
And lose my mind
All these years I've tried
To find myself
And finally know who I am

(Tell me why)
(I haven't felt this way before)
(I can't help but feel)
(Like you're in my way)
(I never said you could stay)
(When I wake I hope you're gone)

There is no spell
And no pill that can change you
If they can't love you
For who you are
Then they don't deserve you
So burn those bridges down
Draw the flame

[Chorus:]
Why do I let you build me up?
When I know you'll just tear me down
I should know by now
That there is nothing
Left to prove to you
I've got a mind of my own
A heart of my own
To do with what I please
Untangle your web of lies
That's so clearly tying me down

5. The Ballad Of A Broken Home

Up to your throat in obscenities
Swimming in a sestpool
Of his filthy fucking lies
It'll take a lot to pull you out
But I've at least got to try

His words fall on deaf ears
They suck the joy from your life
He thinks he's got all the answers
But not this time

[Chorus:]
Go ahead
And make fun of somebody's son
That's afraid to go home today
Take his change
Call him names
T'hats the least of his concerns
Have you ever wondered
Why he's so quiet?
Speaking up at home
Makes him a fool and a liar

Show us your true colors
And quit playing your fucking games
Leave your mask behind
I've never once seen your true face
Even actors drop their character
When they walk off the stage
Drop your act
You're not fooling anyone
I hate your guts
You're going to loose your only sons

[Chorus:]
Go ahead
And make fun of somebody's son
That's afraid to go home today
Take his change
Call him names
T'hats the least of his concerns
Have you ever wondered
Why he's so quiet?
Speaking up at home
Makes him a fool and a liar

I've watched his promises fall apart
No surprises from here on out
When I see you
In the same place as me
I can't help
But could've done this sooner

Lift your chin up and rest easy
I'm by your side

[Chorus:]
Go ahead
And make fun of somebody's son
That's afraid to go home today
Take his change
Call him names
T'hats the least of his concerns
Have you ever wondered
Why he's so quiet?
Speaking up at home
Makes him a fool and a liar

[4x:]
A fool and a liar
