This Hollow Shell Lyrics

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

And though 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 always I 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?
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

Tried to fly with broken wings
Now I crawl on bloodied knees
My spirit plundered, emptied of faith
This hollow shell remains
