My energy deflated
All my thoughts, they wander far
Mistrust of my future
The guilt in my past

Other times it seems
It might not all be so blue
If I could change just simple things
Maybe I could bloom
Maybe I could be happy too

I can see it in my dreams
They're washing over me
An image of another place
Of where I'm supposed to be
Could I take a fragment
Or must I stay the same
An image of a better me
That fades when I'm awake
If they are who I truly am
Then why am I here
A hollow one
Forgotten son

A phone call left unanswered
All of the words I left unsaid
All the mistakes I made
Everything I did instead
And I'm left with regret

Taunted by it constantly
I'm haunted in my sleep
I'm shown all that could've been
If I was anyone but me

I can see it in my dreams
They're washing over me
An image of another place
Of where I'm supposed to be
Could I take a fragment
Or must I stay the same
An image of a better me
That fades when I'm awake
If they are who I truly am
Then why am I here
A hollow one
Forgotten son

Take this pain in my head
And the ache in my chest
End my torment and
Let new life grow instead
If I can't be there
Then I can't stay
There's nothing for me

I can see it in my dreams
They're washing over me
An image of another place
Of where I'm supposed to be
Could I take a fragment
Or must I stay the same
An image of a better me
That fades when I'm awake
If they are who I truly am
Then why am I here
A hollow one
Forgotten son
