Lyrics
Phone glow, 3 AM, cold tone in the voice Know before the words come, no choice but to know Froze whole body locked, won't hold what they told me Whole world folded slow, soul goes where the cold be Ghost in my own home, bones know what the throat won't Broke down on the floor, poured out, can't control it Grown man sobbing, choking, hoping this a joke but No one laughing, only hollow where the home was Throw the phone, shattered chrome, alone in the wreckage Won't forget it, won't accept it, throat's a tourniquet Swore I'd hold you longer, told you I'd be stronger Wrong I'm gone, I'm hollow, follow where the hurt went Burned letters, learned better, but the lesson cost too much Lost touch, lost trust, lost us, lost the plot Clock stops, dropped off, God's got some nerve Served cold, hold close the photos, that's my word I keep reaching for what's gone Hands full of smoke and dawn Tell me how to carry on When the ground I stood on's gone Drove past your old road, windows rolled, radio low Old song came on broke me open like I broke a vow Know I shouldn't go there, soul says don't go there Showed up at the door where you don't live no more Porch light's on but nobody's home nobody's home Stone cold, I'm alone, I'm a clone of who I was before Wore your coat 'til the scent was gone, then wore it more Torn between holding on and letting go of what I'm holding for They say the hollow fills with time But I don't want it filled that hole is mine Only proof you were here, only space where you fit If I let go of the hurt, I let go of it So I hold hold the cold, hold the photos, hold the ghost Hold the coat, hold the throat-closing smoke of what I miss most Toast to the ones we lost, cost be damned This hollow ground's the only place I still can stand I keep reaching for what's gone Hands full of smoke and dawn Tell me how to carry on When the ground I stood on's gone NO CLOSURE, just older, colder, shoulders hold the boulder Soldier through October, November, December, I remember EVERY MOMENT, own it, bones and blood and sinew Continue? How? The vow was 'til the end, and now the end came too soon Moon through the window throws shadows on the pillow Where you used to lay, STAY, I'm begging empty space to stay Prayed to a God I don't know, hoping hope would hold But hope froze and I'm alone on hollow, hollow ground Still reaching for what's gone Hands full of smoke and dawn I don't know how to carry on But I'm still here Standing on this hollow ground Still here Standing on this hollow ground
