Hollow 03:14
Can you see my future? To you it's looking mighty good. Can you read my future? I'm looking a lot sadder than I should. Do you see this smile? I know it's been haunting your dreams. Can you stay for a while? I'm a lot more evil than I seem. (Chorus) Do you see, this demon inside of me? I'll kill you with lies. I'll make you a martyr. Do you see, this villain inside of me? I'll make up alibis. You'll have to try a whole lot harder. Do you hear these words now? The voice behind them is crying out. Can you hear this song now? The chords I play are bringing me down. And Can you see this frustration? I'll never be big like my favorite bands. Do you see this creation? This thing I've made with my Frankenstein hands. (Chorus) Do you see, this demon inside of me? I'll kill you with lies. I'll make you a martyr. Do you see, this villain inside of me? I'll make up alibis. You'll have to try a whole lot harder. Maybe if I knew how to love. Maybe if she knew how to love. Then maybe I could rise above. Then maybe she could rise above. And with you here I'm still alone. With her here I'm so alone. And my wish, my only wish. I wish I wasn't so hollow.

Her Smile 03:36
I still see her smile, The curve of her lips. And I still see her green eyes. That's a face I'm gonna miss. I hear you're leaving tomorrow. But, if I could only say. I would fall to my knees. And I'd beg you stay, I'd beg you to stay. (Chorus) Do you remember me? I sat beside you for weeks. Now I hope you notice. You had a laugh that warmed the whole room. It warmed the whole room. So I call you on the phone. You say "What is there to work out?" Maybe if I was a better man. Maybe things could be different. So sit at the edge of my bed. And I call you... Then I fall to my knees. And I'm wishing, I'm wishing you were home. (Chorus) Do you remember me? I was the boy who couldn't see. Now I hope you notice. That you're a lonely girl. In broken world. You're a hopeless girl. In an ugly world. Now these days are growing darker. And these nights are growing longer. And this room is growing colder. Why can't I hear your laughter? Do you remember me? (Do you remember me?) I was the boy who couldn't see. (Do you remember me?) Now I hope you notice. (Do you remember me?) You had a laugh that warmed the whole room. (Do you remember me?) Well, I remember you..

Setting sail for a far distant shore. Well, where I'm heading to, I'm not too sure. Hoping when I get there I can finally be happy. Hoping when I get there I can finally find some peace. They say it's dangerous, out on the waves. They say it's dangerous those waves will be your grave. Waiting, for this ship to change the direction I'm sailing in. Shaking, yeah I'm afraid, of what this future is bringing. Hoping that I can find an answer to it all. That's when, that's when I heard the Siren's song, she's singing, (Chorus) "Captain your ship is sinking, you'll drown tonight if you don't jump in." I know this ship is sinking, better heed this sirens warning. They warned me about girls like you. The one with a pretty face and a pretty song, You don't got much do you? They said you'd lead me straight to my death. A moment of happiness, and then the watery depths. They say it's dangerous, out on the waves. They say it's dangerous, those waves will be your grave. So now I'm drowning in this darkening madness. I can feel her warm skin yet all I taste is sadness. I know what I did ain't right, I know it's probably wrong. But I'd give it all again, just to hear the Siren's song she's singing, (Chorus) "Captain your ship is sinking, you'll drown tonight if you don't jump in." I know this ship is sinking, I'd better heed this Siren's warning. Better heed this Siren's calling. Better heed this Siren's warning.

Gasoline 03:59
Baby I dropped the gasoline. I got this smell inside of my nose. Baby I dropped the gasoline. I spilled it all, all over my clothes. Honey I think I dropped the match. B-b-baby I can't relax. Honey I think I dropped the match. I just can't ever seem to catch... a grip. (Chorus) I don't want to set this thing on fire. But this place is like a tomb. I don't want to set this place on fire. (on fire) But this home reminds me of you. Honey I think I blew it all. I just can't catch myself, whenever I fall. Honey I think you blew it all. You make me feel so, f*cking small. (Chorus) I don't want to set this thing on fire. But this place is like a tomb. I don't want to set this place on fire. (on fire) But this home reminds me of you. Should I just burn it all down? Burn these pictures of me and you? Watch these flames grow higher and higher? Think of all the chances that I blew? (Chorus) I don't want to set this thing on fire. But this place is like a tomb. I don't want to set this place on fire. (on fire) But this home reminds me of you. These empty spaces.. These empty faces... These pictureless halls... These shadowed walls.. What the f*ck did we do? What the f*ck did you do? Because of you..
