This Hollow Shell (Acoustic Version)

The broken words fall from your mouth

And you believe them

The consequences leave no doubt

That we're running out of time

I feel a cold chill down my spine

I'm screaming with no sound

I'm moving in slow motion

Close enough now to take you down

Black, all that I see is black

You've run the blade through my back

But I wanted to feel this

Just to make sense of the static within

I know we laid down our pride

An act of desperate fools

The final moment has arrived

This will all be over soon

Tried to fly with broken wings

Now I crawl on bloodied knees

So many times I tried to see through your eyes

And I always died inside

Now I want you to feel this

I want you to feel this

I want you to feel

Tried to fly with broken wings

Now I crawl on bloodied knees

My spirit plundered, emptied of faith

This hollow shell remains

I can't be everything I wanted then

I can't pretend

Is this all there is?

Is this all there is?

Is this all there is?

I'll play along and fade away

Time measures all of us

There's no between, we all turn to dust

Just flesh and bone

I tried to fly with broken wings

Now I crawl on bloodied knees

My spirit plundered, emptied of faith

This hollow shell remains
