Hollow Eyes

I gave my trust, I gave my time But every hand just took what's mine They smiled, they lied, they played their game Left me standing in the rain Blind to the pain, deaf to the cries Drowning in greed, feeding on lies No shame, no heart, no second thought They just take and leave me lost I lost my faith in humankind Saw the darkness in their eyes They turn away while the helpless fall Pride and power rule them all I'd rather walk this road alone Or find the love that animals show At least their hearts don't wear disguise Unlike the ones with hollow eyes Used and drained, left on my knees Begging for truth, but no one sees They turn their backs, they shut their eyes While the world just slowly dies Blind to the pain, deaf to the cries Drowning in greed, feeding on lies No shame, no heart, no second thought They just take and leave me lost I lost my faith in humankind Saw the darkness in their eyes They turn away while the helpless fall Pride and power rule them all I'd rather walk this road alone Or find the love that animals show At least their hearts don't wear disguise Unlike the ones with hollow eyes No more trust, no more hope Tired of climbing just to choke If kindness is a dying art Then I will keep my lonely heart I lost my faith, I lost my light But I won't let them steal my fight Alone is better, wild and free Than drowning in their cruelty I lost my faith, I lost my light But I won't let them steal my fight Alone is better, wild and free Than drowning in their cruelty
