Statistics

statistics say they're checking out at twenty two per day closure seekers on their final quest hollow men who don't have time to slowly fade away side by side they've occupied the chairs of the V. A. trying pills in hopes of filling hollows in their chest statistics say they're checking out at twenty two per day families they left behind in mental disarray the vacant stares, the secrets close to vest hollow men who don't have time to slowly fade away finding solice in a bottle is another bill they pay their prayers have gone unanswered, their questions unaddressed hollow men who don't have time to slowly fade away they find too few distractions to make it through the day at night they find in sleep there is no rest hollow men who don't have time to slowly fade away statistics say they're checking out at twenty two per day
