Hollow Heart

I am longing for a comfort in this empty silence
My thoughts surround me with this
clouded deceit and I can't escape my loneliness

It's hard to wage a war with one in your head
My heart's a hollow one; you've got to give to receive
I am caged but you hold the key just out of reach
You reap what you sew, now take care with your seams

I am lost in the dark, without a soul to share a single woe
I am waiting for your voice to fill my heart and lead me home

I feel safer when I am alone, with no one to harm or to hold
Sleep come rescue me, cause there is only relief in my dreams

This distance can't be closed by movement on a map
Should I just fold my hands to begin my retreat?
It's this existence that has me where I
am and I can't bear that I feel so lonesome
My eyes are closed, you're so removed and I can't make it alone

No, I don't see the point in owing you one tenth of my respect
Not dollars or sense,
though a penny for your thoughts holds consequence
Fate, it holds me out of reach
I only trust who I know; I only trust who I see
Is the path home paved or broken?

I am lost in the dark, without a soul to share a single woe
I am waiting for your voice to fill my heart and lead me
I am lost in the dark, without a soul to share a single woe
Life begins on the other side, where despair leaves me
