Hollow

H.O.L.L.O.W. History Observes Love Leading Our Way Fear of the moments ahead are not the easiest to hide Skin wasn’t genetically created to keep emotions inside As people we were born with the spirit and might To preserve the beauty of our energy’s light Something so simple and natural to feel Could have the extraordinary power to heal But the people have been weak while the clocks spun the wheels Our true meaning and purpose buried deep so tightly sealed One by one, we regress our sole drive is wanting more Insatiable craving of power Send our sons to war Where there used to be water and life we replace with stores This world is too noisy I can’t hear the magic from the anymore I crave not a new life for me But the ounce hope that this world can be I wish my children to capture and send my memory That this world somehow passed on its pure passion to me To make it out of this self-destructive murder Of what we truly used to be
