The Hollowest of Things

by Jemma   Dec 12, 2008


I saw them
They were standing tall
Dark...black...shadowing all
They were screaming at me
Telling me
"Sorry
It was all in your head
Everything we said
At least it could have been
Just shadow and flame
Screaming your name
Tomorrow's the lifeline
In case you fail today
And you'll fail today
And we'll be waiting for you there
We'll be the ones to take you there
And we will face you there
And there's a howling in the wind
The hollowest of things
What dreariness it brings
Now it's cold
And darkening each day
And every little thing you say
Is mirroring the sky
Your head's floating too high
Can you breathe these days?
Can you see these days?
With shadow and flame
Screaming your name
From the hearth
From the heavens
From the grave...
They're screaming your name
And it's all the same
If you can't make out nothing
All the same
If you can't make our nothing
But the sound of dying
The torturous rapture
Laughter in the wound
Of living"
