Hollow Tree

When am I gonna learn?

All I do is hide and run

I’ve made so many mistakes

Not once, not twice, but feels like a million takes

At a standstill, hourglass filled with frozen mist

Ain’t a metamorphosis

Losing grip, can’t get a hold of this

Scene by scene with the same rollercoaster twist

At the bottom of an avalanche

Confusion led my soul down a deserted path

Shout out to the tribute to my past

That everlasting love never lasts

Breaking free from my shadow, striding through shattered glass

Walk of shame, what have I accomplished?

Can’t be tamed, walking side by side with my mirrored accomplice

Stepped off for a minute, now I’m back on this

No I can’t quit

Give me just one more hit

Maybe this time it’ll feel right

One more high

I have to know what it feels like

Again and again till there’s nothing left inside

Looking backwards for an escape, but there’s nowhere left to hide

I got to face it now

I’m shaking my knees

Trying to get up somehow

Got to stand on my feet

I’m a hollow tree

Digging my roots deep beneath
