Lyrics

Intro

Mm

Mm-hmm

Oh-oh

Oh-oh

Chorus

I built a monument of everything I lost

Cold cathedral where I bury what I cost

Every candle that I lit has gone and died

I am the keeper of the hollow inside

Post-Chorus

Hollow hollow hollow inside

Hollow hollow hollow inside

Verse 1

Sixteen winters on a mattress made of stone

Learned to love the quiet more than anyone I know

My brother drew a dragon on the plaster by the door

I traced it every morning till my fingers got sore

Pre-Chorus

And I scream

And I pray

To a god with no face

Chorus

I built a monument of everything I lost

Cold cathedral where I bury what I cost

Every candle that I lit has gone and died

I am the keeper of the hollow inside

Post-Chorus

Hollow hollow hollow inside

Hollow hollow hollow inside

Verse 2

Midnight sirens hum a lullaby for me

Painted prophets on the ceiling keeping company

I was raised on furious angels carving signs

Now I carve my own and call the ruin mine

Pre-Chorus

So I run

So I stay

Through the smoke and the rain

Chorus

I built a monument of everything I lost

Cold cathedral where I bury what I cost

Every candle that I lit has gone and died

I am the keeper of the hollow inside

Bridge

Watch it crumble

Watch it fold

Watch it turn to ash and gold

Hold me hold me hold me

Nothing left to hold

Breakdown

I am the keeper

I am the keeper

Of the hollow inside

(Of the hollow inside)

Chorus

I built a monument of everything I lost

Cold cathedral where I bury what I cost

Every candle that I lit has gone and died

I am the keeper of the hollow inside

Post-Chorus

Hollow hollow hollow inside

Hollow hollow hollow inside

Oh-oh

Oh-oh
