Hollow

Faking all your chivalry, making me a rivalry,
just you try and deny.
The people you’re degrading can’t see you’re masquerading
just quite like my eye spies.
One of life’s failures, could easily de-rail you if I tried
but I’ve left this fate to the Gods and the greats
and they’ve let me lie.
Hollow, you leave me hollow,
All you seem to do is wallow.

There’s no sense I can make,
no amends I can make,
save yourself for your sake -
I’ve taken all I can take.

Careering into puppetry wasn’t really quite your scene,
You’ll admit you weren’t fit.
Belittling the enemy when most of it was decency -
you were ill-equipped.
Calling infidelities slight on someone’s dignity,
you’re devoid of feeling

Hollow, you leave me hollow,
All you seem to do is wallow.

There’s no sense I can make,
no amends I can make,
Save yourself for your sake -
I’ve taken all I can take.
I will make sense one day,
make amends some strange day,
save myself for my sake,
give more back than I take.
