The Hollow

They told me drink until she's pretty enough Drink until she's the wine on your tongue Kiss to forget, sleep when you're dead Love when you're young and it matters They told me breathe her like second-hand smoke Let her stain your hands and seep in your clothes Dance to remind yourself that you're dying And honey that I'm no different Cause we're always waiting to kiss till the sun's down Never looking into each other's eyes If you are the hollow then I'll be an echoing sound If you're darkness I'm drawn to the night Are we nothing but swings at a park Just kids making out in the dark Hiding from war we claim to fight for One another You're like fireflies trapped in a jar You're a prison without any bars You make me alone You're soft like a stone Hitting the water Cause we're always waiting to kiss till the sun's down Never looking into each other's eyes If you are the hollow then I'll be an echoing sound If you're darkness I'm drawn to the night Are you still feeling empty tonight? Are you kissing me so I'll quit asking you Why you look sad If you'd want to come back here in the morning Cause Darling I'd kiss you in the broad daylight Take a long, hard look in your eyes You are the hollow to echo a head full of songs You're the darkness where I found the light
