Coming from Hollow

I woke up to the sound of quiet Nothing but the echo in my bones A hundred miles of empty highway Trying to find a place to call my own The shadows used to be my blanket The silence was a bitter kind of friend But now the dawn is breaking open And I can feel the river rush again Coming from hollow, out of the deep Waking the spirit that went to sleep Leaving the ashes, finding the spark Running like lightning out of the dark Yeah, I’m filling the spaces that sorrow tore down Coming from hollow, I’m turning around I kept a lock upon the cellar Where all the heavy memories were stored But you can't keep the light from spilling When something finally kicks awake the door I breathe the air and it tastes sweeter Like rain upon a desert in the spring I lost my voice inside the canyon But now I’m finally ready to sing Coming from hollow, out of the deep Waking the spirit that went to sleep Leaving the ashes, finding the spark Running like lightning out of the dark Yeah, I’m filling the spaces that sorrow tore down Coming from hollow, I’m turning around No more ghost town in my chest No more settling for less I am blood and I am bone I am stepping on the stone And I'm walking right into the sun Coming from hollow, out of the deep Waking the spirit that went to sleep Leaving the ashes, finding the spark Running like lightning out of the dark Yeah, I’m filling the spaces that sorrow tore down Coming from hollow, I’m turning around Turning around Yeah, I'm coming from hollow Leaving the ghost town Watch me now No more hollow
