Abandoned and Hollow
[Verse]
C#m G#m
I have lost the count of days
C#m G#
since I saw you pushed away,
F#m G#
no one to blame, no system flaw
C#m G#
my eyes are dry, my heart is raw
C#m G#m
I won’t believe that you are gone,
C#m G#
I must find strength to carry on,
F#m G#
my faith is gone my god is dead,
C#m G#
your voice keeps ringing in my head
[Chorus]
C#m
Abandoned hollow,
Ab
yet again tomorrow,
F#m Ab
Pripyat is bleeding,
C#m Ab
forgotten and away
F#m
Where the children used to sing,
Ab
used to play, silence rules
C#m Ab
their playground games
[Verse]
C#m G#m
I'd take my life to bring you here,
C#m G#
Once more I’d love to hold you near,
F#m G#
I spit my rage I cry and scream,
C#m G#
Please God don't let this be real
[Chorus]
C#m
Abandoned hollow,
Ab
yet again tomorrow,
F#m Ab
Pripyat is bleeding,
C#m Ab
forgotten and away
F#m
Where the children used to sing,
Ab
used to play, silence rules
C#m Ab
their playground games
[Outro]
C#m G#m
I'm at my end I can't endure,
C#m G#
how different I’m from before,
F#m G#
the hardest storms the ocean wild
C#m C#maj7
is how a mother loves her child
