Black and Hollow - Lannon

We come alive when nobody is watching

Dancing with shadows, floating on air

Come alive, we come alive, all of us

Come alive together

Beaten up and broken down

put together again

Forgot our heart our soul our memories

taken from us, taken from us with a lie

from us forever

They spoke to us wanting the truth

(Wanted the truth but deceit was) all that we were good for

(As our eyes see the blight,) showing no emotion

Showing them that inside we’re hollow

Inside we‘re hollow

Shadows of the dying

Sombre undiscerning

We show what we are

Never meant to go this far

Been waiting for tomorrow

Inside we’re black and hollow

We feel no sorrow

Inside we are black and hollow

There’s only motion cause nobody is here

Rusting broken machinery

We come alive, we come alive, all of us

Come alive together

Empty gaze searching for light

For all those promises

Locked away, forgotten freedom

Taken from us, from us with a lie

From us forever

They spoke to us wanting the truth

(Wanted the truth but deceit was) all that we were good for

(As our eyes see the blight,) showing no emotion

Showing them that inside we’re hollow

Inside we‘re hollow

Shadows of the dying

Sombre undiscerning

We show what we are

Never meant to go this far

Been waiting for tomorrow

Inside we’re black and hollow

We feel no sorrow

Inside we are black and hollow

Covering faces, eyelids well shut.

We see through enucleated holes

Hollow, like ghosts

Living in a machine forest waiting to rise

Living in a machine forest

Shadows of the dying

Sombre undiscerning

We show what we are

Never meant to go this far

Been waiting for tomorrow

Inside we’re black and hollow

We feel no sorrow

Inside we are black and hollow
