I will open this book and the words I see, I'll read aloud

So you can understand what the story's all about


Hollow glances in the backseat of a speeding mangled car

We're all about to die

We're all about to...

Sit back, we're heading for the stars

Our battered lies and thick cigars

The feedback that we got was a reflection of our thoughts

These hearts, they race back to the times when we were so young and alive

We had such hollow lives

We had such hollow lives



I will sit on this park bench and watch you waste your life away

With you not knowing the choices you make are big mistakes

Hollow voices in the corner of a nearby vacant lot

We don't know what we've got

We don't know what we've...

Got ourselves into, because we don't know who or what to trust

We live like towers, and we think the world revolves below us

The songs that we sing are just hopeful that we'll say the things we mean

These words don't mean a thing

These words don't mean a thing



I'll just try to keep my head on straight

But notice how you're saying

“We've got it all under control”

I'll just try to keep my head on straight

But notice how you're saying

“We've got it all under control”

We were so hollow
