Hollow - Makari

I wake to find myself trapped in a frozen well, my hollow cell

Those same dark thoughts that creep through the window at night

Would leave me paralyzed

Eyes wide, searching for meaning in the fleeting nothings

I’ve tried forcing that feeling but I don’t believe myself

Starved for a truth to set me free

I long for your embrace

Scarred from the bitter memories

That tell me I should change

Eyes wide, sharp like a knife you’d use to pierce through my chest

I’ve tried cutting the ties but I can’t seem to help myself

Starved for a truth to set me free

I long for your embrace

Scarred from the bitter memories

That tell me I should change

But I am still my father’s son, the stubborn one

So I couldn’t listen

Carve out the heart and set me free

Before the colors fade

I’ll pretend to lift this heart of stone each time you draw near

In the end I’d rather sleep alone, but still I lie here

Over and over, again and again

Starved for a truth to set me free

I long for your embrace

Scarred from the bitter memories

That tell me I should change

But I am still my mother’s son, the troubled one

So I’ll keep my distance

Carve out the heart and set me free

Before the colors fade
