Hollow Lyrics
[Intro]
Stay alive
Heaven holds a place for us tonight
I am paralyzed
[Verse 1]
Close your eyes
Drive away the cloud that hides the light
And leave the pain behind
Dead alive, find a way to bury all the lies
Escape the pain inside
‘Cause I don’t want to fall or let you go
[Chorus]
Love left me hollow
I’m with you in the end
Cold, crippled, and shallow
Don’t leave me here again
[Verse 2]
Fruit of life
I can hear the voices of the hive
Chemicals collide
Loaded smile
Light the way for those you left behind
Set the earth on fire
‘Cause I don’t want enough
I want it all
Stay alive
Heaven holds a place for us tonight
I am paralyzed
[Verse 1]
Close your eyes
Drive away the cloud that hides the light
And leave the pain behind
Dead alive, find a way to bury all the lies
Escape the pain inside
‘Cause I don’t want to fall or let you go
[Chorus]
Love left me hollow
I’m with you in the end
Cold, crippled, and shallow
Don’t leave me here again
[Verse 2]
Fruit of life
I can hear the voices of the hive
Chemicals collide
Loaded smile
Light the way for those you left behind
Set the earth on fire
‘Cause I don’t want enough
I want it all
[Chorus]
Love left me hollow
I’m with you in the end
Cold, crippled, and shallow
Don’t leave me here again
I can’t go on
You are bound to break me in
I come undone
As you drag me down again
[Instrumental]
[Breakdown]
I come undone
[Chorus]
Love left me hollow
I’m with you in the end
Cold, crippled, and shallow
Don’t leave me here again
I can’t go on
You are bound to break me in
I come undone
As you drag me down again
Love left me hollow
I’m with you in the end
Cold, crippled, and shallow
Don’t leave me here again
I can’t go on
You are bound to break me in
I come undone
As you drag me down again
[Instrumental]
[Breakdown]
I come undone
[Chorus]
Love left me hollow
I’m with you in the end
Cold, crippled, and shallow
Don’t leave me here again
I can’t go on
You are bound to break me in
I come undone
As you drag me down again
About
Genius Annotation
Both the lyrical themes and the composition of “Hollow” is reminiscent of past Breaking Benjamin hits such as “The Diary of Jane” from the bands 2006 album, Phobia. According to frontman, Ben Burnley, this is no accident:
I don’t want to reinvent the wheel. I think fans are noticing that the band hasn’t changed, because I’m the main songwriter, I always have been, and my process — it’s not gonna change.
