Hollow Vessel

Every night, I like to see how long I can go ('til I disintegrate) Pick myself apart, piece by piece, dying slow Isolate, inner voices so loud, hard to ignore Isolate, time slips away, behind closed doors It forces me inside Under the storm I wither away Pick up the pieces One by one They tell a story Of a world undone It was written without an end Locked in a world with no way out This is not a life, it's a fight to survive Hollow, hollow vessel Leave me with my demons to wrestle Shut in, as day fades into night This is not a life, it's a fight to survive Hollow, hollow vessel Leave me with my demons to wrestle Every night, I like to see how long I can go (keeping my sanity) Before I open my eyes, awake again in this black hole It forces me inside Under the storm I wither away Pick up the pieces One by one They tell a story Of a world undone It was written without an end Locked in a world with no way out This is not a life, it's a fight to survive Hollow, hollow vessel Leave me with my demons to wrestle Shut in, as day fades into night This is not a life, it's a fight to survive Hollow, hollow vessel Leave me with my demons to wrestle Hollow, hollow vessel Leave me with my demons to wrestle In a dogfight with myself I'm playing out of bounds Teeth are showing, rage is growing Stand my ground You're down for the count Down for the count Down for the count Down for the count
