Hollowed Out by The Minstrel Lyrics
Hollowed out, the shell of existence
Wander 'round, learn desire's influence
Please partake in this sin
Do you know just what you're in? Emptiness, it builds, boredom persists
So aimless to find where temptation sits?
Please partake in this sin
Do you know what you're involved with?
This dark void inside, it fills up your mind
Trying to decide what to do with your life
Dissatisfied, create new kinds of strife
Until you find something to pacify
This dark void you know, it empties your soul
Once the darkness holds, you'll see nowhere to go
The undertow, thoughts get irrational
Then the answer "No," fades away ever slow
Can you remember a day when your sorrows were not just misplaced?
Things we indulge to fill ourselves up, it leaves us with such haste
Seven desires to make us believe that this life's not a waste
When it's all done, did the actions you take leave a cruel bitter
Taste?
Where is this amazing grace?
Hollowed out, once full of innocence
Let the doubt corrupt it to ignorance
Please partake in this sin
Do you know just what you're in? Emptiness, the immortal insistence
Recklessness, it brings us to violent ends
Please partake in this sin
Do you know what you're involved with?
This dark void we fill can tempt us to kill
So to feel fulfilled, we go search for a thrill
How long until we lose our sense of freewill?
It leaves a chill, things seem to go downhill
This dark void we hate can drive us insane
Such a dismal wait until it seals our fate
Infuriate ourselves to primal states
Watch it desecrate the rest of our bitter days
Can you remember a day when your sorrows were not just misplaced?
Things we indulge to fill ourselves up, it leaves us with such haste
Seven desires to make us believe that this life's not a waste
When it's all done, did the actions you take leave a cruel bitter taste? Where is this amazing grace?
Hollowed out, embrace the permanence
Have you found emotional defiance?
Please partake in this sin
Do you know just what you're in? Emptiness, it does not have to twist
You're boundless, just need something to commit
Please partake in this sin
Do you know what you're involved with?
This dark void we see doesn't have to be
We have to believe that this is not what it seems
Reality looks so unforgiving
But you can free yourself of tyranny
This dark void we have, it won't make us crack
Take your life back and find what it really lacks
Escape the black, climb to the top of the stack
And then attack things making us maniacs
Can you remember a day when your sorrows were not just misplaced?
Things we indulge to fill ourselves up, it leaves us with such haste
Seven desires to make us believe that this life's not a waste
When it's all done, did the actions you take leave a cruel bitter taste?
Where is this amazing grace?
Wander 'round, learn desire's influence
Please partake in this sin
Do you know just what you're in? Emptiness, it builds, boredom persists
So aimless to find where temptation sits?
Please partake in this sin
Do you know what you're involved with?
This dark void inside, it fills up your mind
Trying to decide what to do with your life
Dissatisfied, create new kinds of strife
Until you find something to pacify
This dark void you know, it empties your soul
Once the darkness holds, you'll see nowhere to go
The undertow, thoughts get irrational
Then the answer "No," fades away ever slow
Can you remember a day when your sorrows were not just misplaced?
Things we indulge to fill ourselves up, it leaves us with such haste
Seven desires to make us believe that this life's not a waste
