about

Kit wrote this song right after their dad died. It describes the harrowing feeling of fresh, soul-crushing grief.

lyrics

[Verse 1]
Vacant and joyless
As an after-hours carnival ride
An empty tissue box
Spent from all the tears I've cried (Cried)

[Chorus]
Hollow
Hollow
Carved out like a hollow tree
Grief tore its way outside of me

[Post-Chorus]
Hollow
Hollow

[Verse 2]
Nothing new will grow (Grow)
A poison arrow struck me through
Nothing works at all
To mend the parts that died with you

[Chorus]
Hollow
Hollow
Carved out like a hollow tree
Grief tore its way outside of me

[Post-Chorus]
Hollow
Hollow

[Bridge]
TV to dissociate and then here comes your favorite show
Driving 'round in silence 'cause I cannot trust the radio
Desperate to declutter but I'd find something and think of you
A thousand cuts will gut me through
They're watching their watches for the time I should be over it
Yeah, positive thinking and a smiley face should do the trick
At least I can take their platitudes and attitudes in stride
'Cause I've got nothing left inside

[Chorus]
Hollow
Hollow
Carved out like a hollow tree
Grief tore its way outside of me

[Post-Chorus]
Hollow
Hollow
