Hollow

Start the car for the millionth time Just another day in this life of mine Like a souless machine, my world on repeat Half my life in this worn-out seat I used to be happy, I used to be fun But the years ripped by, that man's gone numb Hollow From down here it's hard to swallow Life drained out, don't want tomorrow This heart of mine just filled with sorrow I pray to God, "Don't abandon me," But this line is dead, I'm lost at sea He's the only one who can save me Save me from going hollow Two hearts entwined, but the darkness spreads Cracks start to form in the things we've said She wants peace, a life that's new But my head's just empty — don't know what to do Working every hour, got nothing left Feel minutes away from my final breath Hollow From down here it's hard to swallow Life drained out, don't want tomorrow This heart of mine just filled with sorrow I pray to God, "Don't abandon me," But this line is dead, I'm lost at sea He's the only one who can save me Save me from going hollow Feeling angry and hurt — "You've abandoned me!" But the answer came softly: "Son, you will see." "I've always been here — I want you to make it I've laid the path, but you need to take it My love for you, it knows no bounds Every prayer you whisper, I'm always around I've shared the pain, I know the sorrow My Son on the cross — to give you tomorrow." Hollow Rising up — His words I'll follow Soul revived, love for tomorrow This heart of mine, now free from sorrow I pray to God, "Thanks for saving me," Through every dark and stormy sea He's the only one who has saved me Saved me from going hollow I once was hollow, now I'm whole His mercy poured into my soul I'll keep on walking where He leads Through every trial, through every need He is my shepard He is my light Guiding me home in the darkest of times I was lost — now I can see His love's the life inside of me
