I'm at your mercy	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 Copyright © kristen Turner \| Year Posted 2022

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
