More Than A Thousand - Volume II: The Hollow lyrics



Tracks



01. The Hollow

Who brought us here? How can we go so far?
Why do we always want more?
While wasting time angry, feeling guilty
And not knowing why... her little creature
Called heart was losing its beat, is it really this deadly?
I allowed my creature to
Crawl out of me while I was walking
Through the hospital corridors.

Your creature is losing it's beat,
It's far more than real you've been my hero
But sometimes even heroes reach
And fall...

It doesn't matter if I'm ready or not...
It will aways be too soon... groans and exhales...
The human in me says
"you'll be gone to a place where nothing can harm you".

Your creature is losing it's beat,
It's far more than real you've been my hero
But sometimes even heroes reach
And fall...

My throat has now shrunk to the point
Where I can no longer speak.

03. Everyone, Everywhere, Everything Ends

As I promised you
One by one
Living or dead
I'll lead them to you

How could they have been
Outside all this time
And no one ever noticed?
I'll bring you back, bring you back
I will follow you 'till the end

This is the end of everything
This was the first time that we've
Ever felt, ever felt
Don't be so scared of dying

As I promised you
One by one
Living or dead
I'll lead them to you

This is the end of everything
This was the first time that we've
Ever felt, ever felt
Don't be so scared of dying

I promised you
I'll bring you back
And I will follow you 'till the end
I promised you
I'll bring you back
I'll bring you back

This is the end of every-thing
This was the first time that we've
Ever felt, ever felt
Don't be so scared of dying
This is the end of everything
This was the first time that we've
Ever felt, ever felt
Don't be so scared of dying

04. Memories And Addictions

Please wake me up someone wake me up
I got a notion in my mind saying I should
Be fine but all my memories are fading
Away my dreams are gone.
On the day I was born to live that's when
I started to die

I've been trying to open my eyes, but
Now this voice in my head says I should
Be dead.

The world is turning and I'm still the
Same, someone wake me up, please wake me up.

All my memories are fading away my
Dreams are gone

The world is turning and I'm still the
Same, someone wake me up, please wake me up.

My memories are fading away please
Wake me up, my dreams are gone now.

06. The Red River Murder

At dawn's first light I saw your silhouette
Walking through my door you passed as if to say
"How could I die right now?"
"How could I die right now?"

Now I'm burning in red
Just like you said
I won't make a sound
Just let me fall

Later on that day when you emerged from the river
Wrapped my arms around you, oh no...
Why did you die right now?
How could I die right now?

Now I'm burning in red
Just like you said
I won't make a sound
Just let me fall to the ground

Now I'm burning in red
Just like you said
I won't make a sound
Just let me fall

Fade out the light
I'm lying at the bottom now
These vines like arms they pull me down
The siren sings and pulls me down

Now I'm burning in red
Just like you said
I won't make a sound
Just let me fall to the ground

Now I'm burning in red
Just like you said
I won't make a sound
Just let me fall

Moving in circles around and around
Into the deep where you will be found

Around and around...

07. The Burden

Laying on the floor and my eyes are bleeding.
Beaten up and torn by these demons that won't let me see you face
But if you still hate me know that
Everything that i do is for you.

Distant and reserved and i'm barely breathing
Struggling to recall your image and voice in this time and place
But if you still hate me
Know that everything that i do is for you.

Reach for the off switch,
This is taking too long.
Reach for the off switch,
Come and take me back home.

Laying on the floor and my eyes are bleeding.
Beaten up and torn by these demons that won't let me see your face
And if you still hate me
Know that everything that i do is for you.

Reach for the off switch, come and take me back.
Reach for the off switch, come and take me back,
Back home.

08. My Lonely Grave

I close my eyes and think life is great
And the world is safe,
I think I've got all the answers
But I'm out there lost and gone, lost and gone...
With a life that gives me the creeps.

I don't know who I am anymore...

I've been seeling my sins to each one of them,
I've been selling myself
Then hide back in my shell,
But I'm out there lost and gone, lost and gone...
With a life that gives me the creeps

I don't know who I am anymore.
I can see my lonely grave on the floor.

My eyeball staring wide open,
Even with my eyelids shut.

I don't know who I am anymore.
I can see my lonely grave on the floor.

11. Cease Fire (SOS)

Cease fire
Please take me out of here
Cease fire
I never asked for this
Please god take me home...
...now safe at home...
But i still remember
How the earth was
Bleeding and the white flashing lights
Over and over...
Awake to their sound, awake to their sound
Couldn't fall asleep...

Stupid war i won't fall for you
Anymore... god save our souls in here

And every single second we lived more
All the stupid hope that we held
Everything started to fade away
Everyone said "this is hell"
You're the wave that swallows men and their dreams,
You're the biggest of all when it comes to "kill"
And only the dead knows
Who you really are
But all of the dead are
Now gone far,
The earth was bleeding...

Stupid war i won't fall for you
Anymore... god save our souls in here
Stupid war i won't fall for you
Anymore... god save our souls in here

But nothing was left to save
Nothing was left to say
When we were dragged
Through the mud,
Nothing was left to
Save nothing was left to say
After dagging our souls through hell...

13. The Virus

I'm a virus,
A burning ache...
I am the fire
That crawls underneath your skin.
I can make you fall asleep,
I cannot let you sleep
I control the emption on the earth.

No needles nor drugs will take me away
I cannot let you go.
No needles nor drugs will take me away
I cannot let you go.

I am the empty that you always feel.

No needles nor drugs will take me away
I cannot let you go.
No needles nor drugs will take me away
I cannot let you go.
