Hollow

It's so quiet
Walking along the edge
It won't be long now
Til I forget who I am

I am so afraid
To move forward
All these mistakes I've made
Surround me

So I run away
I cannot face
What I'm throwing away
It's just as well
You could always tell
When I was hollow

I never asked for this
Happy just to breathe
But now what I've done here
Means nothing to me

I look inside and
I feel so small
I am never good enough
To become what you already are

So I run away
I cannot face
What I'm throwing away
It's just as well
You could always tell
When I was hollow
So once again
I have let you win
The game of giving me a voice
The pill has been swallowed
But I am still hollow

I look back upon my life
And see what's been denied
And I try to face it
But I can never seem to erase it
