a heart has no place in the hollow inside
the ribs form a cage for the face that has escaped
just a fantasy that me and I were never separated
where’s that part of me that left me here to die

I wish I had the words for this
the hollow of my Judas kiss
the silver that was paid in full
to make my fall so pitiful
the man I’ll always fail to be
the empty cage inside of me
and I have brought this on myself
this cross I carry into Hell

this whole that I have dug so deep
the secrets I alone must keep
in the hollow of my heart

I fucking wish I had the words for this
the hollow and the emptiness
the silver that was paid in full
to make my fall so pitiful
the man I’ll always fail to be
built this cage inside of me
and I have brought this on myself
this cross I carry into Hell
