Hollow -

My truth has been revealed

At the cost of everything I knew

My last safe-haven falls behind me

With the self that once consumed

Into the void

I’m pursuing only answers

I’m shedding skins and faces

Past loves and bitter hatreds

And it has come to pass

A path set in stone now breaks like glass

The failings of yesterday

Become the catalyst to seek my change

And it has come to pass

A path set in stone now breaks like glass

The failings of yesterday become my catalyst

So here I stand, a stranger to my new-found freedom

I am a vessel

I am a vessel without destination, devoid of direction

No roles define me, yet conflict embraces me

At the mercy if lucidity

I am adrift in a world all too real

A hollow man!

Into the arms of eternal struggle

I must condemn

My restless mind

I must condemn

My restless mind

And it has come to pass

A path set in stone now breaks like glass

The failings of yesterday

Become my catalyst to seek my change

And it has come to pass

A path set in stone now breaks like glass

The failings of yesterday

Become my catalyst

I seek the guidance gained from silence

Illumination from within the darkness

My council kept with the emptiness

In the heart of the unknown
