With body aches and mental chains I’d give myself away An excuse to make The kiss of death seem like a warm embrace With every inch of strength Comes a miles worth of fear The unknown makes me desperate And I feel it coming near The unknown makes me desperate And I feel it coming near
2.
Fester in my mind Building up your grand display I feel temples shaking Woes erasing Reality mutates Frames go through my eyes An uneven torn display I feel comfort tempt me The frame correcting A glimpse at their true face Give me a cure Take away my free will Ailments gone The parasite prevails Digging deeper taking all it entails Take me to another place Higher than where I stand Nothing can take us down Only the mountain can And we’ll fall And we’ll find We’re the storm in the sky Transcending to another place Higher than where I’ve ever been before My spirit and my mind erased Searching for something more Muscles moving Tissues numb Muscles moving But they aren’t your own It looks into my eyes And I can’t seem to look away I feel my soul escape me As I gently Slip into the seam Give me a cure Take away my free will Ailments gone The parasite prevails Digging deeper taking all it entails Blinded by The apparition Visions lie To make us listen

Into your utopian dream Step out of your mind And step into mine Your willingness to stay blind Look from the outside See me as the light A euphoric state Cares and worries I can take Till there’s nothing left Body mind and soul Past lives slip to the unknown A divine truth Bright and blinding through The hollowform that created you Cursed anew Into your utopian dream Step out of your mind And step into mine Your willingness to stay blind Look from the outside See me as the light In pain and weak The hollowform Shed skin, joining A greater cure The feeling It’s sinking In all of us The fear of failure Slowly divides the self Am I virtue or vice A mirror image of yourself Take what's in plain sight As word To heal your shell We’ll be your guide tonight Don't you fear Just close your eyes If there is any doubt We’ll reach our hands out Tranquility Move as one Feel your shell going numb Tranquility Move as one Into your utopian dream Step out of your mind And step into mine It’s the synergy the energy That pulls you under Even though there’s nothing left to take A divine truth Bright and blinding through The hollowform that created you Cursed anew

Incantations 04:48
Rejuvenate this weathered face As consciousness slips away Solitary souls All bound as one again A cleanse to make your torment fade As colors turn into grays Now fill the shell with something more Consuming the hollowform Entwining Uniting As one Solitary souls All bound as one again Tie down the rolling veins Extract the lingering pain We invade And take their place Loss taken from the mind Level all that's left to climb All senses shutting down Feet planted in the ground Grasp reality, though it remains unseen Agony retreats As ambitions leave We invade And take their place Rejuvenate this weathered face As consciousness slips away Solitary souls all bound as one Fixing all love has undone Molting human desires Removing the inner outlier Entwining Uniting As one Tie down the rolling veins Extract the lingering pain We invade And take their place

Fingers numb Muscles made strong again Greed’s touch Feels no wrong Intertwined in the path of sin Sin reemerging Through twisting lives Forever serving those who never arrive Through sightless eyes The shell and soul have split And torn Life's forgotten memories Soon to be unborn Fire surging through my veins Life converging, no restraints Us and them becoming whole When yours is theirs, it’s not our own Love is lost Shame is gone, no chagrin Bringing a higher cost Paid to the paths of sin Sin reemerging Through twisting lives Forever serving those who never arrive Through sightless eyes The sightless eyes
6.
Though our shell is hollow, we are whole Creating all that is skin and bone In the beginning There was nothing Under the weight of light An infinite compromise Creations delve their hollow selves Into those they praise To carry on is pointless As chaos reigns The fracture of the firmament Hatred ingrained A feeling from the source of it As we remain Though our shell is hollow, we are whole Creations delve their hollow selves Into those they praise To carry on is pointless As chaos reigns The fracture of the firmament Hatred ingrained A feeling from the source of it As we remain Through our world Illuminated We endure We endure

Hollowform 05:11
A vacant tomb Will usher views And as time blooms We’re cursed a new Core taken, forgotten name Leaving scars to remain To remain Winds of change hold me down Cells rearrange, body drowns Soul swallowed by heavy ground The roots, they’re growing to keep us bound Building platforms with a finite reach To feel the soil sink beneath their feet Soul taken, left with having none Let the soil sink into this empty husk And soon we are all as one All as one Core taken, forgotten name Leaving scars to remain To remain Winds of change hold me down (Winds of change hold me down) Soul swallowed by heavy ground The roots, they’re growing to keep us bound
8.
Becoming what initially took me And embodiment I couldn’t even see The scars, first coerced to leave Are all that's left of me I want to take back the confusion I want to take back all the pain Feeling is the grand illusion And yet we feel disdain Vibrations with direction Through withered veins Circulate for collection Identity gone A weaker pawn That shares her reflection No longer hollow, no room left to grow Fully consumed, callus to bone No longer hollow, no room to grow Fully consumed, callus to the bone To the bone Vibrations with direction Through withered veins Circulate for collection Identity gone A weaker pawn That shares her reflection We want to feel divine But the light knows who they are When senses active The climbs constructive We want to feel divine But the light knows who they are When senses active The climbs constructive

about

"Hollowform" is set in the world of “The Surface,” where religious totalitarianism reigns supreme and dissension is inconceivable. The story follows the protagonist “Sym,” who, after the recent passing of his son, struggles to reclaim control over his failing farm, crumbling marriage, and religious identity. Sym unknowingly becomes the pawn of a Goddess who, after the rise of monotheism, is battling to dethrone the dominant God of The Surface. In his struggle to retain his sanity and sense of self, Sym loses all things he holds dear, along with his autonomy.
