This Hollowed Life

It's like your world is ending Everything comes crashing down Can't catch your breathe Down, down, down you drown Waking in the morning To another dreaded day Going through the hustle Just to keep the pain at bay Escaping is what you want Numbing you try to survive Hating the world when you're sober Hate yourself for getting high Oh yeah-This hollowed life of lies Going through the rituals Crushing down your dreams Drawing back within yourself That icy devil makes you scream The storm rages deep inside Harboring all your guilt and shame Fighting a losing battle You think it's too late to change You hate the world when you're sober Hate yourself for getting high Numbing as a way of living Living your hollowed life of lies Then one day you see Someone who used to use They were happy No longer broken and confused They tell you of a man Who washed away their sins They had found peace Oh yeah- found peace within Him You were tired of the hatred You were tired of getting high You were tired of living Living your hollowed life of lies You asked for forgiveness You were hungry for more You wanted what they had They had opened the door Now you're walking free Free from the shame and guilt With Jesus in your heart You had been rebuilt No more hating the world No longer getting high You laid your pain at His feet You escaped that hollowed life of lies
