Hollows

Welcome to my world
I once had touch with
The tree roots are strangling me from beneath
My eyes are bulging, seeing the world that's destroyed
From the book of stone and between-
Between the lines of time
From the book of stone
I am timeless. I await. I await!

Mind of gears, soul of rust, a heart that never seems to combust
Like a robotic man, walking in meaningless cycles
Repeating, repeating, repeating
Somewhere twisted in the wreckage, I am searching for what’s left of me
When all tales of romance and serenades worth singing for cease
All is lost, I am lost! Someone find me
Someone understand me!
I begin to walk the endless abyss, drifting through the forest we once roamed
I, the last crowned monarch, thrown to the gallows amongst the willows to blow
Through the leaves
And be forgotten in time!
And so this lonesome ghost shall never love again
