Hollow

Tell me, what have I become?

Another year around the sun

As the seasons come and go

Do I fade or do I grow?

Am I for evil or for good?

Is the difference understood

As it used to before?

Nothing's simple anymore

When I think about the past

Waves of joy that would not last

Waiting for life to begin

Never noticed anything

Always something up ahead

That I worried about instead

Seems unnecessary

All things are temporary

Hollow, all promises are hollow

We all go down below

Only then will it be forever

Constant changes all the time

The only constant you will find

Nothing caters to my taste

Everything will be replaced

I should keep my mouth shut

Be thankful for the things I've got

Revel in the beauty of the continuity

Hollow, all their promises were hollow

There's no cure, there's no peace

No real change, there's no common knowledge

You know, all I want is to belong

I'm not here for everyone

But I'll do what I say

And I'm with you all the way

That's my hollow promise, to you
