True Colors - Hollower

I’ve seen that look in your eyes enough times to know

We dim the lights, so our faces wouldn’t show

Distraught within ourselves, we couldn’t recognize the void that led to

compromise

Consistent, the image

All was just left behind

Never fulfilled, forever riding the sidelines

We are Gods but for the wisdom

What is this life without reason?

Wish I could say I didn’t see this coming

With Elegance you broke before you bent

This time it’s different, this time you meant it

Wish I could say the same

A constant reckoning of which I couldn’t blame you

You couldn’t suffer through the sacrifice

Show them your face

Searching through depths of shallow causes

Downcast culture for outrage, underlining virtue

Your claim to fame

Show them your face

I bet it looks a lot like mine

Show them your colors true

Visions nothing like you

Constant options and not a clue

Visions nothing like you

You fan the flames designed in hate

Self-propelled further from your own reality

Let’s take it back to the walls of the house

That couldn’t contain our voices loud

From the garage door that was shut a final time

Down the driveway, with tears in your eyes

Don’t say goodbye

Don’t say goodbye, no not this time

I wish that I could say I didn’t see this coming

With Elegance you broke before you bent

This time it’s different, this time you meant it

Wish I could say the same

Countless options and not a clue

Visions nothing like you

We fall victim to subjugation

Constantly fighting the risk for reward

We fell victim within ourselves

Consistently inviting all that further divides
