hollow bones, hollow eyes, hollow skies,
torn-open sighs, holy cries of the lost and searching
outlined in this haze
the grinding beat is just enough to turn tangible the pain
The children come dancing with shadowed eyes, living on the inside
they share a common affliction
born from looking too long at hollow skies for home
And I am there on the oustide looking in
We are there in our only armor, wearing nothing but our souls and our skin
I am here on the inside singing low
maybe something will float down that you don't already know
some peace the hollow skies have never showed you.
Loss of inclination to love
When I'm b**hy, you're too wounded
and all this changing throws it wide
when you touch me, you think Who Is She?
But there's a sea of faces crying out for serenade
if i could only reach you
through the fog of disarray
i could make us all a little brave
with the music not yet made.
all hollow eyes and livid fears,
precious tears
nectar and adrenaline
for the coming years
and I am here on the outside looking in
with my kindred all beside me, only armed in soul and skin
I am here on the outside singing low, holding tight
so follow my voice into this night
Sharing each and ev'ry sin as the sun goes down
And I am there on the outside looking in
we are there in our only armor, wearing nothing but our souls and our skin
I am there on the inside singing low, holding tight
so
Follow my voice into this night
