The Hollow in Retrospect

They told me drink till she’s pretty enough
Drink until she’s the wine on your tongue
Kiss to forget, sleep when you’re dead
Love while you’re young and it matters
They told me breathe her like second-hand smoke
Let her stain your hands and seep in your clothes
Dance to remind yourself that you’re dying
And honey that I’m no different
Cause we’re always waiting to kiss till the sun’s down
Never looking into each other’s eyes
If you are the Hollow, then I’ll be an echoing sound
If you’re darkness I’m drawn to the night
Are we nothing but swings in a park
Just kids hooking up in the dark
Hiding from war, we claim to fight for
One another
You’re like fireflies trapped in a jar
You’re a prison without any bars
You make me alone, You’re soft like a stone
Hitting the water
Cause we’re always waiting to kiss till the sun’s down
Never looking into each other’s eyes
If you are the Hollow, then I’ll be an echoing sound
If you’re darkness I’m drawn to the night
(Drawn to the night, Drawn to the night, Drawn to the night)
I am still just as empty tonight
I was fucking you so you would not ask me why
I’m so sad, if I still love you back
Darling I’m sorry
That we always waited to kiss until sundown
I could never look straight in your eyes
You are the Hollow, but now I write echoless songs
You’re the darkness where I lost the light
