The story of a close-knit group of friends falling apart because of immature battles.
lyrics
HOLLOWED LUV
VERSE I
once a chain so solid, it could take anything
now rusted, decayed, with weak and missing links
we’ve fallin’ apart like I knew we wouldn’t have
now that we’ve broken, what can I do now,
but move on and push forward instead of pullin’ back
I know I got issues with tryin’ to hold on to the past
yall know that, yall know me, I’m me around yall
yall’ve been there through it all, when I’m standin’ tall and when I fall,
but what happened to lookin’ up when we feel like lookin’ down
and when we feel we’re in the ground, what happened to cursin’ out loud
knowin’ weather can’t destroy us—no matter what the price
time branched out our lives, life altered our sights
and some had to resort to hate because of insufficient funds
like The Prodical Absentee, unlogical ways to breathe
too huge of a bond to take at too young of an age
immature battles straddled us—shoulda known we’d eventually break
CHORUS
now when we feel like lookin’ down—we do
and when we search for the truth, we come up with nothin’, but lies
disguised by clouded minds, forgot to say our good-byes
the winds of time froze the rain to ice, the price was too high
VERSE II
we’ve got no choice—we’ve gotta watch it fade,
but we unraveled in a way that raised a question—was it fake
I guess it was with some, but who am I to judge anyone
relation-ships wreck suddenly abrupt
Harmony was dissonant, but 10 other melodies existed
til 1’s epiphany on K—she became a Christian,
couples separated, others formed—some within the circle, some not
either way—shit got all fucked up
1 wrote a note to another that smothered their link
did I mention the effect SPEED had on we
then 2 got into it over another 1 night
a drunken brawl in the rain in 2 other’s parkin’ lot
what a soap opera, but 6 of 11 still kick it
oh well, that’s life—this shit’s ridiculous
so I’m throwin’ love to those that are here
no hate to the ones that ain’t,
but to both groups here or not
the real shit never breaks
CHORUS—jam out
