Thirst of the Hollow

Let my veins for a taste of the thrill

And now I'm drowning in a mouthful of pills

Every heartbeat's a mercenary drum

Calling me back where the numbness comes

The liquor still whispers with a velvet tongue

The night's too sweet to leave unsung

But the morning burns like a guilty hand

Dragging me down into sinking sand

I'm chained to the sugar, the lust, and the sin

To the things I swore I'd never let in

But the hunger grows, it wears my name

And I can't remember who's to blame

Thirst of the hollow, it's never enough

Every sip is a crown, every drop is a rough

The burn in my throat is a law I obey

It's pulling my soul and I can't look away

I sold tomorrow for a moment's breath

I've been dancing with angels, it tastes like death

The night is a dealer, my veins are the dice

Every roll's a slow sacrifice

I'm rotting in gold, I'm drowning in silk

Poisoned by honey, baptized in milk

My reflection's a stranger, my eyes are the crime

I'm still alive but out of time

I'm chained to the sugar, the lust, and the sin

To the things I swore I'd never let in

But the hunger grows, it wears my name

And I can't remember who's to blame

Thirst of the hollow, it's never enough

Every sip is a crown, every drop is a rough

The burn in my throat is a law I obey

It's pulling my soul and I can't look away

Every touch leaves a bruise I hide

Every kiss a little suicide

I'm carving my name in the walls of decay

But the floor is closing anyway

I don't want to let it go

But it's killing me slow

I don't want to let it go

But I'm already below

Thirst of the hollow, it's never enough

Every sip is a crown, every drop is a rough

The burn in my throat is a law I obey

It's pulling my soul and I can't look away

It's pulling my soul and I can't look away
