In the collision that caused the rift
Came the division that brought the shift
And now the worlds align
In the collision that caused the rift
Came the division that brought the shift
And now the world’s a lie
We need to meet
We’ve fallen out of time
I was your shadow
And you were mine
Welcome to the house of the dead
Where the hollow men dwell
Mirrors of their former selves
Echoed through endless spaces
They’re taking over the homes we shared
And falling into disrepair
If these were the last days
I would love you like they’d never end
I don’t know where we are
But I know we have to go far
The secrets of the past are undecided
Buried under shifting sands
You’re playing with the universe
When you suffocate the flame
She’ll become a thousand stars
But you’ll never know her name
Now stand outside your life
And see who you really are
[continued in part 2]
Gather round the fire I have story for you
I was once a figure of brazen youth
The warming of the fire is a reminder of then
Am I one of many? Am I the hollow men?
The shadows are a cipher of my message to you
A life as fleeting as the glowing remains
Will burn as brightly as the sparks from a flame
One minute to midnight
My world ends with you
In the zero hour
I’m coming back for you
For all the time it takes to fill an ocean
Here with only my mind I wait
To be rescued by ones and zeros
Heroes emerge from the throes
But what do they save if nothing is true?
Consider this as you run through your daily lives
We’re improbable but not impossible
Time will bind us but is our own creation
You’ll never sever all the wires of our connection
