I - Hollow

This reality is a shattered truth
Bathed in blissful hues of forgetful blues
A placating peaceful palette
Where the sanguine past becomes obscured
In purple, orange glass
Zirconium hearts and pyrite minds glimmer dim beneath the sky
But with pressure, heat, and time
Diamonds bloom of strange design
A brittle truce
A family in twain
The absence of violence is not the absence of pain
This void we know is by design
Choice by choice
Yours and mine

Hey
Wait
I've got some things I need to say
Before I watch you fade away
Blame
Hate
Every action that you take
Has made it clear that things have changed
Wait
Wait

All that we do
All that we knew
Will only lead to violent truths
All of our lies
Love in disguise
In line with our lifeless silent eyes
I don't want to think
About anything
In spite of what I had in mind
Hollow we are, idle

Lay
Waste
To all the memories enslaved
Sincerity that we've betrayed
Am I gonna be the one to say goodbye
Give it all away, I doubt you'd even mind
It's a cynical reform
Together we can end this war
Forever we can end this

All that we do
All that we knew
Will only lead to violent truths
All of our lies
Love in disguise
In line with our lifeless silent eyes
I don't want to think
About anything
In spite of what I had in mind
Hollow we are, idle

Levee has to break
Time has died out
Shatter clean this slate
Show what we are now
Ascension has to wait
Take your dive down
Just take a look around
Know what we are now

All that we do
All that we knew
Will only lead to violent truths
All of our lies
Love in disguise
In line with our lifeless silent eyes
I don't want to think
About anything
In spite of what I had in mind
Hollow we are, idle
