I can see it in your eyes, you've been hollowed out inside
You've been cut down to size
You've been howling at the sky
You've been pleading for a muse but you know you still can't make no sense
And you know this world's an awful mess if you're really honest,
But who's honest at all
'Seems an age since you felt high, smothered by the violence of our time
Hit you like a twisting of a knife
Taught you only hatred for your kind, but
If you won't fake it you won't shake it, you won't shape up
Your skin is bare and nobody wants that these days
Oh these hollow drums, that we've become, they're beaten numb
Oh as hollow drums with deflated lungs, we come undone
All our wasted time, we swallow lies, we're rendered numb
All our wasted time, we fall in line, to come undone
Oh these hollow drums, they're beaten numb, we've come undone.
