Kage

I feel hollow

The taste of blood and gasoline

With every new flame built on my broken wings

Drag me from the deep

And wake me from this dream

In a place where nothing grows

She filled my heart with stone

With stone

I bite my tongue till the blood flows through my teeth

I listen close to the way the shadows speak

She danced above me while I grieved

She danced above me while I grieved

Finding the strength to breathe

And return to healing

I feel hollow

I feel it

The sickness

The weight that pulls me down

I feel it

The sickness

I let it take hold of me

She filled my heart with stone

In this place where nothing grows

I bite my tongue till the blood flows through my teeth

I listen close to the way the shadows speak

She danced above me while I grieved

She danced above me while I grieved

Finding the strength to breathe

And return to healing

I felt hopeless

Counting all these scars

I saw her in the light

Veins torn wide open

She called out in the night

I won’t be dead to this world

In a place where nothing grows

She filled my heart with stone

In a place where nothing grows

She filled my heart with stone

I bite my tongue till the blood flows through my teeth

I listen close to the way the shadows speak

She danced above me while I grieved

She danced above me while I grieved

Finding the strength to breathe

And return to healing

I feel hollow
