Hollow - Theatre Of Tragedy

Waking

Falling stars from substratum

Who holds the key to break the old bonds?

Stare into space

Until you cannot see your face

I turn away

I turn, but never get back

Trying hard to be someone

In return you end up hollow

Like a sinking ship I float

A stormy sunny day, I turn away

I’ve come to realize this is gone tomorrow

Brittle and frail, we (will) fall down

All that we are is a means to an end

It doesn’t matter what you do

Give me your hand and open up your eyes

And burn away — release yourself

I turn away

I turn, but never get back

Trying hard to be someone

In return you end up hollow

Like a sinking ship I float

A stormy sunny day, I turn away

I will not follow you across the silver sky of summer

And like someone from tomorrow I sense innocence

In my dreaming

I wasn’t sleeping
