I thought this time I might just walk away from you You were a thief, yeah and I was the proof But you don't ever cry, so no telling the truth The first time that I tried to run away from you You gave me a list, said now baby you choose But it wasn't engraved, it felt more like a bruise Oh I wasn't ashamed then, of my degree The fear that I once paid for now was free But I wasn't afraid then, of who I'd become In a desperate vain attempt to talk to God I saw, I saw Now I'm the same, lost my decree, and it paid for you I was a liar, I was stuck in the fog Yeah and you were turned around, I was pretty much lost I'm first of four that tried to cast away from you Into the dark, you were a spear I was holding your head, you were watching me kneel I was barely born then, I was hardly evolved I was pacing back and forth to calm the squall So I ran out of reasons, of places to fall Would you take my heart and nail it to your wall? I saw, I saw Once you reach the top it takes your air Are you hollow? Are you hollow? Lower than you think you've ever been Are you hollow? Are you hollow? I don't want to believe it Stuck in my thought I've been trying to replicate the mask of God Now I'm starting to feel it Now the guilt's falling off When I turned my eyes around, I learned to talk I saw, I saw
