HOLLOW

peering through the condensation
sifting through the rust
we've arrived where we've departed
circles made in dust

take me where the signs are clearer
through these shades of gray
immolation of my senses
burn it all away

I see another hollow morning
I see another hollow day

telling tales with smoke and mirrors
half-truths still add up to lies
violent beauty draws me nearer
take away my eyes

descending with the dawn
falling on and on
those who seek a new tomorrow
find tomorrow's gone

I see another hollow morning
I see another hollow day
I see another hollow morning
I see another hollow day
