Hollow man, how did you get so shallow? Do you ever wonder what it's gonna take to break that spell Between the bricks you hide all your secrets But the walls, they tell me everything Though they have no more space to keep it Though they have no more space to keep it Ivy like veins wrap your mast, a feign Your lies are a light to your disguise So keep them close, real close So keep them close, real close Little one, answer me this: How did you build your walls so high Does it make you feel big? Locked away, you're masked by charm Between your teeth escapes all your secrets Cavities can't hide among the white Though you have no more eyes to see it No, you have no more eyes to see it Ivy like veins wrap your mast, a feign Your lies are a light to your disguise So keep them close, real close So keep them close, real close Light spills, Light fills in dark space If you could only see your face (hide your face) Woah-oah Woah-oah Woah Deceit is stacking bricks below Forever vines are growing Skyward So keep them close, real close So keep them close, real close Light spills, Light fills in dark space If you could only see your face (hide your face) Woah-oah Woah-oah Woah Look around you all the walls have caved in Look around, you are alone You are alone

(Fooled you once, Fooled you twice Now this city....) Vague were their eyes As if withholding little secrets Fixed upon their need to quench a thirst "Just one drink's enough for me But i can't speak for the shadow beneath me" Creeping, Crawling, Desperately Make, Make me believe That i am a fountain, leave me dry Well i'll show you empty, I'll show you empty Take all you need from me I'll bring the Famine They took her eyes for the Beauty she sees in all things Viles of tears worn proudly around their necks Memories of loved ones lost And the girl that got away And he's left with nothing Everyone is left with nothing Creeping, Crawling, Desperately Show me all of your darkness, your secrets "Don't you know there's no escaping me?" You are the fountain, I'll make you belive Make you believe Make, Make me believe That i am a fountain, leave me dry Well i'll show you empty, I'll show you empty Take all you need from me I'll bring the Famine Wash your greedy hands with me Well, i'll show you empty, I'll show you empty Take all you need from me I'll bring the Famine (Fooled you once, Fooled you twice Now this city....) "Ladies and Gentlemen, the sky is falling" I've created a monster Rage overflowing, you're done taking from me As the Earth pulls you under I'll show you empty when you are burried Left with nothing, Watch them flee Make, Make me believe i am a fountain, leave me dry Well i'll show you empty, I'll show you empty Take all you need from me I'll bring the Famine Wash your greedy hands with me Well, i'll show you empty, I'll show you empty Take all you need from me I'll bring the Famine

She whispers softly in his ear (and i'm taking it all) is he the only one she wants to hear? As She refuses to repent She'll be restless, Breathless Searching for what she missed "Give me your eyes, For I see not with my own Give me your lungs, I breathe each breath not my own I'll take your soul, I need something to call my own" Desperate and lonely, She's dead in despair She moans and she groans in the deathly still air Hollow to all but the ones who can see That without someone else she would cease to be Stolen from his mind, Passions of his kind Nothing left behind Haunting his ear: "Give me your eyes, For I see not with my own Give me your lungs, I breathe each breath not my own I'll take your soul, I need something to call my own" Like a leach she feeds on the host She has hold and she wont let go (I wont let go) Draining slowly, his life sucked away And his eyes sewn tightly shut where he lay She refuses to repent "Give me your eyes, For I see not with my own Give me your lungs, I breathe each breath not my own I'll take your soul, I need something to call my own"
