it's so quiet   walking along the edge   it won't be long now   til i forget who i am      i am so afraid   to move forward   all these mistakes i've made   surround me      so i run away   i cannot face   what i'm throwing away   it's just as well   you could always tell   when i was hollow      i never asked for this   happy just to breathe   but now what i've done here   means nothing to me      i look inside and   i feel so small   i am never good enough   to become what you already are      so i run away   i cannot face   what i'm throwing away   it's just as well   you could always tell   when i was hollow   so once again   i have let you win   the game of giving me a voice   the pill has been swallowed   but i am still hollow      i look back upon my life   and see what's been denied   and i try to face it   but i can never seem to erase it
