Wholly Hollow
Clear your throat and conscience
Shake the hand of fate
Tomorrow may bring sunshine
Tomorrow may bring rain
Faded like old photos
Worn by the roles we wear
And though we're blessed with the breath of life
We're left choking on the air
Joy takes it's dive
In brain wave high tides
Youth gives in to age
But the growth's benign
Thoughts spread like plague
My heart stabs like spades
I'm ashes in a vase
Burned by a warm embrace
God took away
Now I'm trying to make some headway with overwhelming odds against me
I can't hear the voice within
It just voiced a vacant anxious cadence, never one for conversation
Well, I never listened in
We could have climbed a mountain
But we slept in catacombs
You weren't awake at the reception
So I got in tune with the dial tone
Joy takes it's dive
Backwards to find
The soul lays bare
Despite its' leathered hyde
The grief begins
My blood runs thin
Doubt's glistening
The world's still turning
It's a cardinal sin
That I hear my heart scream
Tearing out its' own strings
They say all things do pass
But it's all of you that I have left
Joy takes it's dive
Angel flew too high
See you in the mourn
Or when I turn at night
To dream your face
To dream some grace
I'd run to you
But I'm wide awake
Outside heaven's gates
Shake the hand of fate
Tomorrow may bring sunshine
Tomorrow may bring rain
Faded like old photos
Worn by the roles we wear
And though we're blessed with the breath of life
We're left choking on the air
Joy takes it's dive
In brain wave high tides
Youth gives in to age
But the growth's benign
Thoughts spread like plague
My heart stabs like spades
I'm ashes in a vase
Burned by a warm embrace
God took away
Now I'm trying to make some headway with overwhelming odds against me
I can't hear the voice within
It just voiced a vacant anxious cadence, never one for conversation
Well, I never listened in
We could have climbed a mountain
But we slept in catacombs
You weren't awake at the reception
So I got in tune with the dial tone
Joy takes it's dive
Backwards to find
The soul lays bare
Despite its' leathered hyde
The grief begins
My blood runs thin
Doubt's glistening
The world's still turning
It's a cardinal sin
That I hear my heart scream
Tearing out its' own strings
They say all things do pass
But it's all of you that I have left
Joy takes it's dive
Angel flew too high
See you in the mourn
Or when I turn at night
To dream your face
To dream some grace
I'd run to you
But I'm wide awake
Outside heaven's gates
