The Hollow Woman

She stands cold
She stands hollow
The sides of her chest closing in
A beat, beat so slow
She can go it by memory
Pull apart her heartbeat
Go just a moment longer
She's staring down
Staring down
Falling in

Breath in and sigh inside out
Time cannot heal if there's only night
"Carry me through the dark and I'll be your hero"
The song she'd sung to herself in the dead of night

She is the harlot
And she is the slave
She is the nothing, the no one
Who sleeps upon your grave
Sing to her in silence again and she'll
Do it all the same
A beat, beat, beat, beat

Breath in and sigh inside out
Time cannot heal if there's only night
"Carry me through the dark, and I'll be your hero"
The song she'd sung to herself in the dead of night
