Hollowed Out

Dress my words up like a mannequin
I'm reinventing myself again
I need to be better than I am
But I'm only a man
Baring things that I can't stand
I thought if we work together
We could live forever
What I want isn't what you want
Something's gotta give
Something's gotta give

Phantoms dance on the skeleton
Numb them with my medicine
But the weight is too much

And the frame begins to rust
I hope one you're someone I can trust

Resting in graves I designed
Let the worms eat my spine
I need to find a place to hide

I feel like I just don't know what to do anymore
Every ceiling that I reach feels more like the floor
Keep me up and I'll keep my mouth shut
Every search is a dead end
Let downs better left unsaid
Let downs better left unsaid

Look me in the eyes
When you feed me lies
I love the way I get when I'm antagonized

All I see is sin when I look at your skin
Artificial from limb to limb
White turns to red with every word that gets said
We paid the ultimate price for a holy life

Pulling at my neck are the ghosts of my past
Reach in the depths to dig up an old friend
For one last conversation about the end
This is the trilogy of skin
I share it with a malicious twin
This is the trilogy of skin
A time before I let you in
