The Hollow
I can see through you,
See through your eyes
The hollow that you hide.
The self that you disguise.
Who are you?
You’re not you,
Where is the real you?
Not what you say, not what you do.
I see beyond your lies.
Into the hollow, under your paradigms.
You don’t know that you hide.
But, I can help, let me inside.
Let me pry open your mind.
You possess truths inside.
But, you don’t know where they reside.
The hollow becomes you, let it die.
You have the key,
To be free
If only you’d let me,
Inside to let you see what I see.
See through your eyes
The hollow that you hide.
The self that you disguise.
Who are you?
You’re not you,
Where is the real you?
Not what you say, not what you do.
I see beyond your lies.
Into the hollow, under your paradigms.
You don’t know that you hide.
But, I can help, let me inside.
Let me pry open your mind.
You possess truths inside.
But, you don’t know where they reside.
The hollow becomes you, let it die.
You have the key,
To be free
If only you’d let me,
Inside to let you see what I see.

I have felt just like this CW unfortunately it's a dangerous game though... I ended up broken trying to fix him and of course he didn't care to try and fix me. I try to be a good person but I have to be careful because I'm drawn to such negative souls.
Fantastic write though it flowed so freely and obviously hit home with me 😢

People are often VERY protective of their paradigms. Many people cling to the comforting lies they tell themselves. It's why I chuckle to myself EVERY TIME someone says they're an honest person. 90% have no idea that they lie to themselves, and everyone else on a daily basis in one way, shape, or another. Most people don't know this, but, our prefrontal cortex, by a lot of experts is referred to as the, "Rational lying brain".
Thank you so much for reading and commenting. I'm stoked that this touched you. That's my goal. If nothing else, to put the messages out there, and let people decide if they want to use the info or not. You can never help someone that doesn't want it. But we can offer.

Re. The Hollow
Guess they are as 'honest' as they are 'normal' haha. Still... I feel that some have their prefrontal cortex's working overtime and concocting all sorts of far-fetched lies 😁 whereas others are trying to be honest at heart if not in mind (or as honest as they can be without revealing too much truth) 😂
Now my head hurts lol but thanks for making me use it 😉

It resonates.

It was a solo album, written after Springsteen was divorced, thus many songs about failed love.

We never see ourselves clearly, only those closest
to us can see what's really going on in there...

I see beyond your lies.
Into the hollow, under your paradigms.
You don’t know that you hide.
But, I can help, let me inside.
Love that verse :)
