Makari – Hollow lyrics

I wake to find myself trapped in a frozen well, my hollow cell
Those same dark thoughts that creep through the window at night
Would leave me paralyzed

Eyes wide, searching for meaning in the fleeting nothings
I’ve tried forcing that feeling but I don’t believe myself

Starved for a truth to set me free
I long for your embrace
Scarred from the bitter memories
That tell me I should change

Eyes wide, sharp like a knife you’d use to pierce through my chest
I’ve tried cutting the ties but I can’t seem to help myself

Starved for a truth to set me free
I long for your embrace
Scarred from the bitter memories
That tell me I should change
But I am still my father’s son, the stubborn one
So I couldn’t listen
Carve out the heart and set me free
Before the colors fade

I’ll pretend to lift this heart of stone each time you draw near
In the end I’d rather sleep alone, but still I lie here
Over and over, again and again

Starved for a truth to set me free
I long for your embrace
Scarred from the bitter memories
That tell me I should change
But I am still my mother’s son, the troubled one
So I’ll keep my distance
Carve out the heart and set me free
Before the colors fade
