Torn apart by the face of what¹s real

Thrown down at the feet of despair

Slides in under my skin

I like the claws that cut into me



I¹ve seen the sun go down

I¹ve seen the world go round

While I go mad beneath it

Consumed by emptiness

Feels hard to swallow

I¹m choking on the hatred

My soul is hollow



I¹ve watched you spit out lies through broken teeth

So who am I to say you cannot be

Waiting for a weakness in the scheme

Easy time to lay your hands on me



I¹ve seen the sun go down

I¹ve seen the world go round

While I go mad beneath it

Consumed by hatred

Feels hard to swallow

I¹m choking on the emptiness

My soul is hollow

Step outside your shell into mind

Step outside your world into mine



Waking up in the bottom of a cold damp sleep

Looking down from the top I¹m slipping off in the deep

Consumed by emptiness feels hard to swallow

I¹m choking on the hatred my soul is hollow
