[Verse 1]
             
Forgotten eyes

which we lose
             
Forgotten hand

         
s are the ones

      
 which we choo

To let go of, 

        
but it is no l

     
ess a bruise
             
On the collect

gone

And they've lo

Of the common

[Verse 2]
             
Hollow-eyed on

         
 Eddie street 

     
no sirens to h

ear
             
Just trash and

         
 soiled needle

      
s clawing the 

  
veneer
             
And no crying 

     
but it is no l

  
ess a tear
             
On the common 

         
cheek with whi

        
ch we smile
             
Hollow-eyed on

         
 Eddie, is it 

      
they or is it 


I
             
Is it me who i

         
s more hollow 

       
as I'm quickly

#        
 passing by?
             
And the poison

         
 is killing th

           
em, but then s

     
o am I
             
As I turn away
