Almost Hollow

from II / IV by Forward To Eden

lyrics

If I were the rain, that binds together the earth and the sky,
whom in all eternity will never mingle
Would I be able to bind two hearts together?
And would I be able to reach to you again?

I’m afraid to open this book of memories inside my head
it feels like drowning in quicksand
My mind is soaked into itself, but every night I see your face in my dreams
And every day I am afraid to sleep again
but also longing for it at the same time
But this hole in my chest, it just gets bigger as I can’t let go
I feel the chain devouring itself
I feel this mask inside of me – almost hollow

And I wonder what your heart sounds like these days
I wonder if it still beats in the same cadence as mine?

And I wonder if it was all just a dream?
I was once told that this is sincere
And I was once told that this would last forever
No reason to live, no reason to die
You built this noose right in front of me
But now I’m too afraid to see myself hanging
