Hollow

Lies!

My truth has been revealed
At the cost of everything I knew
My last safe-haven falls behind me
With the self that once consumed.

Into the void
I'm pursuing only answers
I'm shedding skins and faces
Past loves and bitter hatreds.

And it has come to pass
A path set in stone now breaks like glass
The failings of yesterday
Become the catalyst to seek my change.

And it has come to pass
A path set in stone now breaks like glass
The failings of yesterday become my catalyst.

So here I stand, a stranger to my new-found freedom
I am a vessel
I am a vessel without destination, devoid of direction.

No roles define me, yet conflict embraces me
At the mercy if lucidity
I am adrift in a world all too real.

A hollow man!

Into the arms of eternal struggle
I must condemn
My restless mind
I must condemn
My restless mind.

And it has come to pass
A path set in stone now breaks like glass
The failings of yesterday
Become my catalyst to seek my change.

And it has come to pass
A path set in stone now breaks like glass
The failings of yesterday
Become my catalyst.

I seek the guidance gained from silence
Illumination from within the darkness
My council kept with the emptiness
In the heart of the unknown.
