(intro)
Some of life's lessons, they chip away at your soul
Some of life's lessons, they chip away at your soul
And if these things are not mended, then emptiness follows
And if these things are not mended, then emptiness follows
What happens to your true self, if it’s hollow?
What happens to your true self, if it’s hollow?
(1st verse)
I refuse to let this feeling get a grip and pull me down
struggle with my life is all I know and all I see
The fires inside of me, the rage, the hatred
battle for control of my soul
I may be down, but I’m not out, climbing back up!
Many more battles in the never-ending war
I will rise, you will see
(chorus)
Time is what I need to feel these hollow spaces
Self-reflection fills these holes in my head
Look around at all those suffering inside
Darkness feeds on those hollow spaces
The emptiness of my soul it rises up above
Insight exposes those places to me!
(2nd verse)
Black within my body scars my soul
Betrayal from the wound that’s killing me
Empty hollow spaces shaping my soul
growing from within, changing the pace, it’s what I need
Adapting to the changes coming right at me
This won’t bring me down to my knees
(repeat chorus)
(outro)
Now that my time has begun
the temple inside of me
insures that the battle has been won
of my life, of my fate Now it’s your turn
to put you in your hollow space
Now this lesson has chipped away at your soul
