Lost and alone in silent strife Torn between two kinds of life My hands were clean, now stained with fire Each battle pulls me deeper, higher They said I chose this path, I know But truth is, I had nowhere else to go Born from loss and made through war I never asked, but I swore There's a hollow within, screaming through my skin Breaking all my limits just to hold it in Every breath a trial, every step a sin Fighting just to cage the hollow within Face to face with what I fear That voice inside is always near But I won't fall, I've seen too much The pain, the love, the broken trust The lines are blurred, the truth unclear I won't be used, I won't give in (You hear me?) I am the storm and the calm within A soul divided But I won't bend There's a hollow within, screaming through my skin Breaking all my limits just to hold it in Every breath a trial, every step a sin Fighting just to cage the hollow within Call me what you will, I know where I've been Not whole, not pure, but I still defend Because even with the hollow within I rise again Yeah, I rise again
