Wraiths - Our Hollow, Our Home

Am I a puppet

A slave to the strings

A ghost in the shell

Cause I no longer feel anything

But an ever growing urge

For self-destruction and detachment…

This has gone on for too long

I’m breaking out…

Searching myself for a new beginning

Gasping for air whilst I’m slowly sinking

I’ve fallen into the void

Ground my teeth down to the bone

To abstain from the anger

That I just can’t seem to control

And I can feel it burning inside of me

Waiting for the tides to be unleashed

I’ve gotta hold it back

I’ve gotta channel it in

To a battle against myself

That I fear I will never win

And I can feel it burning inside of me

Yeah, I can feel it burn…

You better hold on to something

Whilst I try to weather this storm

Because we’re too far out to see the lighthouse

And there’s nothing left to guide us to shore

You better pray for me father, yeah pray for your son

Cause I’ll admit that I’m afraid, yeah I am afraid…

Cause when I look in the mirror all I can see is rage

Yeah, all I can see is rage

I fear it’s always been here

Hidden deep within my soul

Is it hardwired in to my DNA

Cause this response is all I know

So let me tell you 'bout

All the bridges I’ve built

I’m now so ready to burn

I’ll light the fires and watch the flames engulf it all

If I could just close my eyes

And finally put this to bed

But there’s a constant inferno inside my head…

So light the fires and watch the flames engulf it all…

And I can feel it burning inside of me

Yeah, I can feel it burn…

You better hold on to something

Whilst I try to weather this storm

Because we’re too far out to see the lighthouse

And there’s nothing left to guide us to shore

You better pray for me father, yeah pray for your son

Cause I’ll admit that I’m afraid

But it’s time for a change

I don’t wanna feel

No, I don’t wanna feel rage…

Yet all I can feel is rage…

You want the best of me?

You want it all

Well, come and get it…
