The hollowness finds me

And the pain is worse than life

Darkness begging to take me away

Days are just seconds until the nights begin

I've left myself fall in to the wake

And i'm drifting with the tide

I am just a shell

I am just the shape of the person i was

But i like where i am

I'm safer alone in the company i keep

I am just a shadow

I am just a memory of my former self

But this is me now

I'm lost in my sense of security

Wasted

Wasted

Wasted

I'm wasted

I can put a stop to this, i can bring myself down

Another moment, one more chance to see

How will i know if i no longer need

What am i to you without myself ?

Who is the person you want back ?

Who am i, when i'm not complete ?

I'm the flesh that you walk on with your words

You play no hand in my choice

You'd push for me to go through hell

Just to have me say that i'm clean now

I know what i am and i know what is missing

In your mind's eye am i standing alone ?

There's this space between me and my self control

What doesn't kill me makes me hunger

From were you stand, does it look so still ?

In your law, does it say i can't live ?

Have you felt the depths i've sunk to ?

Have you seen what i've become ?

Where do you think the seclusion leads me ?

Where do you think the quiet takes me ?

Who do you think i am now ?

When i'm up i'm what i wish to be

I'm a product of my indulgences

It's a circumstance that i've made my own

You are what you take

As much as i long to say i'm free

I know i'll be left wanting

I am just a shell

I am just the shape of the person i was

But i like where i am

I'm safer alone in the company i keep

I am just a shadow

I am just a memory of my former self

But this is me now

I'm lost in my sense of security
