Hollow

It started with a spark My careless mind tried to discard And quickly grabbed all that it could Clawing at the trees It tore through years of quiet growth With a scream to match the heat So burn down everything, and let it all crumble to dust That scatters in the wind, leaving the barren ground with Hollow shells of what has been, stretching their bones into the sky And waiting for the chance to breathe again Beyond the charred facade Deep down underneath the ground Lies the will to never die And with a splash of hope They're all reaching for the sun Climbing higher every time So burn down everything, and let it all crumble to dust That scatters in the wind, leaving the barren ground with Hollow shells of what has been, stretching their bones into the sky And waiting for the chance to breathe again It's not the hand that threw the match that keeps the fires burning But the frail and broken tinder which you left behind And when the glow is all but gone and I am left there wandering It's up to me to carry on So burn down everything, and let it all crumble to dust That scatters in the wind, leaving the barren ground with Hollow shells of what has been, stretching their bones into the sky And waiting for the chance to breathe again
