Your Hollow Heart

Your chest holds hollowed rock

You can't see anything in the dark

It pulses with the breath of the monster from within

The monster grows stronger with my grievances

It swallows up your feelings,

And leaves no room for me

I don't want to be trapped in the dark,

With no steady beat to bring me light,

With no steady beat to show me life

Seems I have no choice

The cave grows bigger,

And I'm made more small

It's just you saying that you don't care at all

I can't slay the monster

I can't save your hollowed heart

The monster drags me 

down,

       down,

   down

To the depths 

       of the dark

   Inside your hollow heart
