Hollow Heart

Hollow Heart
Jack Green


Can I be your revenging angel?
      Can I be an emotional door?
Can I stagger along, drunken sword
        Swinging through a sea of bitter enemies?

For now my heart is truly hollow
      For now my lungs, breathing only death
For now my fantasies are darker
      Than any nightmare you would dare
        conceive

Call me dead man
Call me hollow heart
Call me dead man
Call me torn apart

Can I be your still ringing hammer?
      Can I be quiet lucid dreamer?
Can I weep with you, in all my shame,
      As you cry when you are thinking about  
        me?

For now, you know my will is shallow
      For now, I’ve made you feel some sorrow
For now I’ve hurt you so much more than
      Any daggers of a heartless enemy

Call me dead man
Call me rotten corpse
Call me dead man
Call me no remorse

Though you feel hurt today, do not fear
It will fade as you forget and the last of my life
Drains away
