Hollow Spaces - Lyrics

(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
