Black and hollow

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

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
