The sky tore apart
Acid rain came down
And burnt the stars
The fires rose like a Rose to the sun
Waiting for heaven whilst hell had come
It all adds up to the Gods above
That fill our fear and taint our love
Where the poison gags our lustful eyes
Where the poison kills but never dies
It's the setting of the sun
It's the feelings that are numb
When I need you, you're never around
And when I see you, I rip out my heart
Because I feel you and when I get lonely
I feel hollow
I'm hollow
It all comes down to the charred remains
Where an open eye can cast the blame
On the one true thing that rules us all
On the one true thing that makes us crawl
I'm dividing the clouds
Opening up to the sounds of the ghost of you
When I need you, you're never around
And when I see you, I rip out my heart
Because I feel you and when I get lonely
I feel hollow
I'm hollow
When I bleed
I'm releasing the pain that lives within me
And stabs at my soul
Because I love you and living without you
Leaves me hollow
I'm hollow
Everything she's saying is straight but with a twist
Circling throughout my mind
Her words they cut like blades
Deep into my brain
A burn like from a thousand knives
