Hollow inside and nothing to do

You spend your time existing in a world where you’re passed by

You’d be something if you’d only try

But trying means feeling, and feeling means pain

 

Comfortable in your little world

You don’t even know who you are anymore

Everything around you is always surreal

But you keep to yourself, unable to feel

 

The walls you built to keep them out

Have locked you in without a doubt

 

Like a weathered tree, you’re hollow inside

A void of nothing, nowhere to hide

Would anyone notice if you disappeared?

Would anyone care if you were here?

Resigned to your life and where you are now

You don’t think about tomorrow or even the here and now

 

The days blend together, gray into gray

You watch the world move while you stay

Safe in your fortress of apathy

A king of nothing, finally free

 

 

The silence used to scream at night

Now it’s just another friend in sight

 

Like a weathered tree, you’re hollow inside

A void of nothing, nowhere to hide

Would anyone notice if you disappeared?

Would anyone care if you were here?

Resigned to your life and where you are now

You don’t think about tomorrow or even the here and now

 

No dreams left to chase

No masks left to wear

No heart left to break

No soul left to bare

This is comfort

This is peace

This is nothing

This is release

 

Like a weathered tree, you’re hollow inside

A void of nothing, you’ve learned to hide

No one would notice if you disappeared

No one would care that you were here

Resigned to your life, you’ve found your way

Tomorrow never comes when you live in gray

 

Hollow inside…

This is who you are…
