Hollow

I didn't know that I could feel this hollow
I could've grown but now I know
It's the way it has to go
Leave me alone
Don't leave a message at the tone
Nobody's home
Nobody's home
Home

I didn't know that I could feel this hollow
I could've grown but now I know
It's the way it has to go
Leave me alone
Don't leave a message at the tone
Nobody's home
Nobody's home
Home

But I've been thinking lately
Who will save me if today were to overtake me
Did I care enough to not be left empty
Can't assume anything of anyone
Til you're staring in the mirror
You're forgetting how to love
How to love
All my selfish ambitions and reckless decisions
Have been clouding my vision
Witnessing my condition and splitting my intentions
Like my heart and my head
I can sleep when I'm dead
Got some monsters in my closet
But I moved them to the basement
Basic needs for me are changing me up like the seasons
Meaning fading, falling further away from talking reasons

I didn't know that I could feel this hollow
I could've grown but now I know
It's the way it has to go
Leave me alone
Don't leave a message at the tone
Nobody's home
I need to get my head screwed on
Grind my gears until they rust
I need to throw away my fears
Leave my dark in the dust

This is not for your eyes to see
It's been so long since I've felt free
Mind warped by insecurities
My only enemy is me

But I'm used to changing spaces
I never knew where I could call home
I really wished that I could call though
But you will never know this lost soul
But you could never write these songs though
I've been aching for ages to anchor myself somwhere I find some peace
Piecing together some pieces of me that will make me a better, not bitter being
Cos I'm not scared anymore
Gotta sacrifice to open some doors
Just living, I'm letting my life play it's course
It's not a three course meal I'm starving for more
I'm powering down, I need to refill all my energy
Drain it from my enemies
Pretend to be your bro but you're no friend to me
My iconic identity verbally murdering everything that's here in my vicinity
I'm causing my whole world to crumble
But this way of life's just how it has to be

This is not for your eyes to see
It's been so long since I've felt free
Mind warped by insecurities
My only enemy is

I didn't know that I could feel this hollow
I could've grown but now I know
It's the way it has to go
Leave me alone
Don't leave a message at the tone
Nobody's home
I need to get my head screwed on
Grind my gears until they rust
I need to throw away my fears
Leave my dark in the dust

I didn't know
That I could feel this hollow
I should've grown
But now I know
It's the way it always goes
So leave me alone
This cold place became my home
So many faces but I still feel so alone
