Lost Boy - Hollow Front

I gave you everything

And you threw it all away

As if I meant nothing

You’re the cancer beneath my skin

I swear that I’ll never let you win

It just goes to show

Up is the only direction left to go

I’ve lost my mind

Trying to find a moment in time

A place where I can reconnect

When I’m no longer held against my will

Shackled to these memories I have of you

I’ve lost my fucking mind

Searching for the reasons why I wasn’t good enough

How could I be so blind?

After all the fucking shit you put me through

And now I’m six feet underground

And I’m starting to drown

Beneath the weight of every mistake that I’ve ever made

Struggling to pick up pieces

As I claw my way back to the surface

Will I ever be myself again?

So fucking tell me

Will I ever feel that safe again?

I gave you everything

And you threw it all away

As if I meant nothing

Was I just another trophy on your shelf?

You’re the cancer beneath my skin

I swear that I’ll never let you win

It just goes to show

Up is the only direction left to go

You only have one life to live

So make it count

There’s always room for second chances

Just gotta learn to pick yourself back up

This is the path that I’ve chosen

And I refuse to be one of the broken

A generation of damaged souls

We are the lost

We are the broke and unsettled

Hide behind the words you won’t say to me

Try and erase memories I can’t escape

The reason for all my hate?

Forgiveness is for the weak

A plague planted within my mind

The feeling hollows me

But I’ll sleep soundly at night

Knowing karma will be bittersweet

We are lost

And I don’t ever think we’ll be found

And now I know how it feels

To be so close to the edge

I’m afraid that I’m never coming back

Unless I can learn to forgive

But I can never forget

I tried to forgive you

I swear I’ve tried

But I’ve got nothing left inside to give

I gave you everything

And you threw it all away

As if I meant nothing

Was I just another trophy on your shelf?

You’re the cancer beneath my skin

I swear that I’ll never let you win

It just goes to show

Up is the only direction left to go

I’ve lost my mind

I feel the hate inside

It’s growing deeper everyday

The last piece of me dies

You watch it fall and rot away
