Hollow House

Hollow House

Footsteps echo in a hollow house

Doors all open, but he wont walk out

Moonlight crawling up the crooked walls

Shadows whisper, but he hears no calls

Hes digging, digging, deeper down

Dust on his hands, but he wont lay it down

Cant save a ghost from haunting the past

Cant build a fire when the rain wont pass

I leave the light on, but the dark casts doubt

Trapped in a hollow house with no way out

There’s a bottle where his soul should be

Lies taste sweet when you drink them deep

He swears he’s climbing, but I see the rope

Fraying, breaking, slipping like hope

Hes digging, digging, deeper down

Dust on his hands, but he wont lay it down

Cant save a ghost from haunting the past

Cant build a fire when the rain wont pass

I leave the light on, but the dark casts doubt

Trapped in a hollow house with no way out

Do I stay? Do I run?

Do I watch the setting sun?

When the house caves in,

Will I be the only one?

Cant save a ghost from haunting the past

Cant build a fire when the rain wont pass

I leave the light on, but the dark casts doubt

Trapped in a hollow house with no way out

Footsteps fade in a hollow house

Doors all open, but he won’t walk out
