A hollowed man has come today
A face so cheap it makes you pay
Are you listening now?
Is it glistening?
Are you interested in a piece of me now?

Is this who the void will become?
A hand astray, to take the day
Your innocence is just a pretty guilt
Boom, boom, speaker man
Cry, cry, all you weaker than

Pressed against the glass
He’s aglow with stupidity
Hanging on, but dying out
Breath by breath, I watch him fade
A foggy window
“Let me breathe”
He’ll beg, he’ll plead

What a timelessly forgettable moment
“Promise me promises”
I wish you well
Don’t drown too far down
Attempted temptation true and false
Let the river tell us all
Sting, stitch, grow, itch
Sting, stitch, grow, itch

A hollowed man has come today
He’ll spread his wings
And he’ll lift the blaze
As he burns he’ll turn to say
“I took the world to the other place”

Rib expanders
They let the wretches out
New demanders
They burn the bridges down
Implore

A broken man has come today
Took your butterfly wings away
You shouldn’t ever be okay
Not ever…again

Look what I've built, it shines so beautifully now watch as it destroys me."
