Hotel Books Hollow Light Hollow Lover Lyrics


Hollow Light / Hollow Lover by Hotel Books

I would rather live in pain than live in vain
And in this way, I don't know if anything will change
But at least I know who I am in this game that we play

Even though sometimes I don't know
If it's even worth trying to get things to stay
But I've spent so long trying to let go
That I just want a change of pace
'Cause I used to chase after home
But now I'm afraid of that place
Because every time I stay, I become static
And I become afraid

'Cause sometimes I feel like I'm standing alone
But sometimes I feel like only the low road will lead me home
But I will do whatever it takes to stay away from being another drone
Because the further I chase my demons away
I feel like it's the chase that brings them so close

And today is today and that's all that will be remembered
When life comes back and breathes into my bones
In this cycle of living where I feel like all I love is all I lack
And all I have is not my own
So I just continue to let go

And this mirror reminds of the worth I kept hidden in alleyways
On cold days and nights of trying to feel alive
Trying to pretend that nothing happens
When no one turns on the light
And I know that's not true
But I will believe it when I close my eyes
Because it's easier than trying to make things right

And I feel that the dark is inside of me, shaking my knees
Trying to release this weight that needs to be set free
So release me, break my back, and let me bleed
I don't want to lose myself
But it would be okay if I lost part of me
Because we all just want to be set free

Set me free and watch me bleed
(I don't want to lose myself
But it would be okay if I lost part of me)
Watch me bleed
I've been holding in this breath for far too long
And it isn't freedom until it is released
(So please release me)
So set me free and watch me bleed
Because I don't want to lose myself
So set me free and watch me bleed
Because I don't want to lose myself

I know what I want, we all fight for what we want
Even though it's not always what we need
And we're all in this together; we all share the some blood
It's just that some of us are afraid to bleed

So the dark leaps out from us and into our streets
We get so isolated from hope
It becomes a part of all that we can see
And even when we fall asleep
We can feel these nightmares infecting our dreams

But when life comes into the darkness
The darkness can't understand what it seems
And I would like to think that the more I grow with you
It's the more that the darkness can't understand me
I'd like to think that as I grow
The darkness can't even see me
