Hold On to the Hollow

Wasting time on my own thoughts Pulling me in so deep Thoughts of you in our little world It makes me cold It makes me weak I self destructed I reconstructed I owe this all to you For a while you let me forget myself But once again The real me is alive I put myself here Look what it's done to me I'll keep myself here Now watch me bleed I wanted to believe in you I tried to believe in the lie It was a lie Now you see what it did to me It was a lie I'm self reliant I'm self confidement I owe this all to you You showed me that I'm the only one I know So once again The real me is alive I put myself here Look what it's done to me I'll keep myself here Now watch me bleed I was taken apart by what I never knew I was taken apart The ugly part of you The ugly part of you Spend time with the broken man I owe this all to you I was taken apart by what I never knew I was taken apart The ugly part of you You

I was awake Alone - afraid - confused The only love I knew The only love I knew You were the only love I knew And I was afraid Scars don't heal When they grow on the inside The mind can't kill What it sees on the outside Too young to know Too young to understand Force fed the real thing I didn't know what it meant back then And now you wonder what went wrong? How can you wonder what went wrong? Love wasn't explained Try spending that much time alone I know this pain Over time it only grows Didn't want to believe Tried not to let it show Everything inside me You took more than you'll ever know And now you wonder what went wrong? How can you wonder? You were wrong You were wrong Pieces of man I'm learning the hard way what I am Pieces of man Destroyed - destroyed Fistful of control You planted this seed inside Too many times Too many times This time you can't deny You were wrong You were wrong You were wrong You were wrong Pieces of man I'm learning the hard way what I am Pieces of man Destroyed - destroyed I was afraid - I was alone - confused I was afraid - I was afraid You were the only love I knew And I was afraid - afraid Pieces of man I'm learning the hard way what I am Pieces of me Destroyed - destroyed Pieces of man I'm learning the hard way what I am Pieces of me Destroyed - destroyed You were wrong You were wrong You were wrong You were wrong

Like an animal Senses fear Chills up my spine I know you're here It's been so long So what did you expect? I know where you've been And I disrespect I feel sickened I choke and spit up words They all mean nothing It's all absurd Your body has been used up Your mind has changed direction I can't believe I touched you I can't believe it Inside I wish it wasn't true It makes it hard to look at you Ugly I feel My body's inside you Tongue in - tongue out I can taste him on you You're naked as a child Your innocence is gone Given away for nothing And I hate what's left Inside I wish it wasn't true I makes it hard to look at you I close my eyes - I close my mind But it makes nothing go away Look back in anger Look back in pain Look back in disrespect It's you I can't respect I look back in anger And it's so hard to look back I close my eyes - I close my mind But it makes nothing go away

This time you couldn't walk away from me This time there was nowhere you could hide This time I wanted all the answers This time I really thought I was prepared But now I know I know I wasn't ready And now I know I know what it is to burn I know what it is to burn This time you couldn't turn your back on me This time you had to leave me paralyzed This time I thought it's what I wanted This time I know that I was wrong 'Cause I know about it this time I thought I wasn't human This time I really thought I wouldn't feel I wish I didn't know I wish I didn't feel I wish I could forget But this time it's for real Some things you just don't want to hear Not this time But now I know I know I wasn't ready And now I know I know what it is to burn I wish I didn't know I wish I didn't feel I wish I could forget But this time it's for real I wish I didn't know I wish I didn't feel I wish I could forget But this time I know what it is to burn

Look at how they look at you Used up again Feel Feel how they're treating you Only for their use again Respect They've never seen it Another one is how they see it Only in this to be used You're only in this to be used Hands on mine Hands all over me Scarring my mind so easily Hands all over you Tearing every part of me Hands all over you There's always something that reminds me I've been there before Deep inside the innocent I've laid there before Feeling transparent But this time it's you I'm in love with what they've all used I'm afraid to say it I know you know it Hands on mine Hands all over me Scarring my mind so easily Hands all over you Tearing every part of me Hands all over you There's always something that reminds me Live - lust - life Live - I tried to live Lust - I tried to forget Life - I tried But it's you

I lay here silent How do I tell her How far away I feel With every breath she tries to hold tighter But far away is all I feel You needed a hand and I tried to be that hand But life is yours to hold Strap down tight it's going to be a long ride It's time you ride alone Then she said I found god But I'm not the god you see Don't leave me like this Alone, she said I died to be with you I took my own life with my own hands Listen to me 'Cause I can't save you Listen to me - listen I've got to save myself Then she said I found god But I'm not the god you see Put your nails in me She said she's never felt alive Then she said I found god But I'm not the god you see And could never be No, I can't save you Put your nails in me

Too much time - has gone by Take a look back on that life I see your eyes - I see myself And I can't look back on that life Forced to listen - forced to learn With the sounds of the lonely I remember now - it takes me down Leave me - leave me - now Dislocated - I walked away You feel the walls - begin to build You were the one I'm sorry but you could've been anyone I see you now - you show me everything Forced to listen - forced to learn With the sounds of being all alone I remember now - it takes me down Leave me - leave me - now I remember now - it takes me down Leave me - leave me It never leaves - never

I feel so different now It all feels so different now I had you in my life once I had the feeling of the real thing once But now you're gone And that's all gone Inside, I held on to you once I never knew there were two of us once But now I'm alone And it's all gone I gave my body and my mind to you once I thought it all revolved around you once I know better now But I'm too far gone I would've died for you once And I thought it would've mattered to you once But now you're gone And I'm so far gone And I'm wrapping my arms around myself I'm free I hold on to all that I am But I know that the one I hold is dying I feel so different now It all feels so different now
