Hands Like Houses - Hollow (Official Lyric Video)

Hollow is the second song off our next batch of songs under Volume 2 - S T R A T O. Hollow is one of the darkest songs we’ve written. The lyrics feel like a letter but it’s not intended for any one person. It’s an insight into the mind of someone who feels so void of love and happiness that to leave this world feels like the only way to end the pain for yourself and for those around you. The way the song ends is a personal favourite as it encompasses the story of the song into two sentences with multiple voices, “it’s too late to change, it’s too late to stay,” as if to emulate the many ways it can feel heard in your mind. It’s a heart breaking song but I hope it reminds people who’ve felt similar that they’re not alone. Josh!

I’m so hollow, I’m so hollow  Sleeping inside our coffin  I’ll always be a  deadman walking  White lights, blind me An angel points at me with her gun We’re crawling on a tightrope, feel the way the cold chokes We’re holding on but we see the end  Staring out the window, fading out in slow mo Heavens on the edge of my wrist  Our blood stains the carpet, In my mind it’s harmless  I tried to fight it  But drift in subconscious, What if I wait, What if I wait, it’s breaking me. It’s too late to stay It’s too late to change
