We are hollow The archetypes of a modern man Demoralized to the core The hosts are more pale than their shadows For years I kept on keeping it inside, Snuff out the agony to push it aside And live scared if the truth would ever see light The pain makes me stronger but closes my eyes The words coming out meant for poisoned minds Unaware of when I've gone too far I can't feel my heart beat, Longing for colors in my life again Scared and sanguine for this story to end Staring to the beautiful eyes of death Disappointment, The gilded crown we're destined To wear With pride and despair Are we lost in our search for the times Of peace and quiet to lose the weight Of the world from our shoulders In our efforts to make amends To rebuilt the damage of old eras In our search we may have gone to far I can't feel my heart beat, Longing for colors in my life again Scared and sanguine for this story to end Staring to the beautiful eyes of death Pretentious Think highly of what I am Condescending to the core The cardinal sin of the modern man What is the point of preaching to thee When there is no one left to see it unfold Pompous desire to determine what's right Sparing no effort or sparing no might Has left us no room to breath I can't feel my heart beat, Wish there were colors in my life again Staring to the night like so many before me Standing at the edge with the void calling Me by name Vigorously unable to accept the fate To live when everything feels the same To live when everything is monochromatic grey I can't feel my heart beat, Longing for colors in my life again Scared and sanguine for this story to end Staring to the empty eyes of death again
