"Of Hollow Dreams" lyrics - SOILWORK

Shattered by the sudden and horrible loss
Only in my sleep can I contain the grief
Until the moment I wake up
To the nightmare of reality

Trying to find relief in these painful times
Of hollow dreams
Hoping that time will heal
It's so surreal, the way I feel

[Pre-Chorus:]
Emptiness, a crucial part of me
Forever gone
Sorrow cannot seem to let me go
Let me go

[Chorus:]
Condemned to pain
But somehow you keep, yeah you keep me sane
Nothing can replace you in my life
Even though you're never, ever coming back
Coming back

The thought of a future without you
Keeps on haunting my fragile mind

It wasn't meant to end so soon
Where did you go?
Now I'm hoping that time will heal
To see you leaving was so surreal

[Bridge:]
Release me from this prison of the mind
Time is rushing forward, but I'm standing in line
Thankful that you probably left us unaware
Liberated from the sorrow (liberated from the sorrow)

[Pre-Chorus]

[Chorus:]
Condemned to pain
But somehow you keep me
Yeah, you keep me sane
Nothing can replace you in my life
In my life

Sorrow cannot seem to let me go (let go)

[Outro:]
Condemned (condemned)
To pain (to pain)
You still (you still)
Remain (remain)
Nothing can replace you in my life
Even though you're never, ever coming back
