Hollow

One more requiem As the church bells open fire On another kid who will never hold the hand Of his first love at the homecoming dance Gunfire riddles the news again "Welcome brother" echoes in my head The last words of a hero Giving open arms and love in face of death I just can't take it How'd we get so hollow? How'd we get so... How'd we get so... How'd we get so hollow? How'd we get so... How'd we get so... Hollow And the future's caving in on me When I try to tell my children Because a house held up by silence is a grave But I don't know what to say How'd we get so hollow? How'd we get so... How'd we get so... How'd we get so hollow? How'd we get so... How'd we get so... Hollow I don't want to be good at this I don't want to give hate my silence Another day, another sorrow How'd we get so... How'd we get so... How'd we get so hollow? How'd we get so... How'd we get so... How'd we get so hollow? How'd we get so... How'd we get so... Hollow
