Scarred By Hate

Hollow inside

I'm beginning to feel

Like I've swallowed my pride

Trying to deal

With the rising tide

Wondering if my desire to live is real

Oh, what wouldn't I give

To allow our worlds to again collide

Insides hollow

I forgot how to feel

On hope I choke, swallow

I cannot deal

With life so real

So in my pain I'll wallow

Scarred by hate that'll never heal
