Hollow

Toronto, two years ago
Spring cut off by the summer’s heat
You were lying on the concrete by the stage
With your hands over your face
The song was almost over, as was your shitty day

Drown myself in alcohol, cigarettes and long distance calls
No need to judge yourself
Just figure out why you feel so alone
No need to waste another day
Trying to fight the fact that you feel so hollow

(See, you’re at ease)
It’s all in your head at the end of the day
(Can’t you see, you’re at ease)
It’s mind over matter
At least that’s what they say about life
When you ask them why you feel the way you do
You can’t put your finger on the word
All you know is it hurts

Drown myself in alcohol, cigarettes and long distance calls
No need to judge yourself
Just figure out why you feel so alone
No need to waste another day
Trying to fight the fact that you feel so hollow

Stop getting wasted and start being patient
Collect your composure
Grow up and move on
Quit being so selfish
Because greed isn’t pretty
When we can all see you’re not coping, just crying for pity
So grow up and move on

Drown myself in alcohol, cigarettes and long distance calls
No need to judge yourself
Just figure out why you feel so alone
No need to waste another day
Trying to fight the fact that you feel so hollow
That you’re feeling hollow
