We leave the television blaring To create the illusion that our lives are not vacant But still our hearts are so shattered We are all speeding with no destination An imaginary prize until we sadly falter Hollow children sputtering out From birth until failure, we march on forever We are only as strong as the mark we left behind It was a cold, cold day in December Your hands were folded Your heart was silent What was this boy to you? How could I possibly stay here without you? You were a young soul waiting forever And heaven had finally come for you I know this much is true They'll never another one like you Hollow children sputtering out From birth until failure, we march on forever We are only as strong as the mark we left behind We are only as strong We are only as strong as the mark we left God, are you really listening? If this is only a test If this is only a test, I feel like I'm failing God, are you really listening? If this is only a test If this is only a test, I feel like I'm failing Failing you
