Hollow

Callous always builds from pain
Shelter only protects from the rain
Give me a reason
Give me a reason not to fail
I’m trying to claw my way up
From despair
If I drown, if I drown
Trying to come up for air
Tell them I fought
But only made it halfway there
Hollowed out
From within
Breach the surface
Drowning me
All around
Something calls
Follow it down again
I cannot give in
This is treason, this is treason
This is treason
This is not how we’re meant to live
Give me a reason
Give me a reason not to fail
I’m trying to claw my way up
From despair
If I drown, if I drown
Trying to come up for air
Tell them I fought
But only made it halfway there
