Hollow out a pumpkin
Hollow out my soul
Scoop out the insides of a pumpkin
Scoop out the inside of my soul
Thin ice covers my body
Thin ice covers my soul
Outside of myself
Outside of my soul
Cavities, devoid of truth
Sunken, reverberating footsteps
Echo hollowly
Emptiness, devoid of even emotion
A void between hollow valleys
Spacious sepulchral sound
Deeply indented
In my hollow soul.

Hollow out a pumpkin
Hollow out my soul
Scoop out the insides of a pumpkin
Scoop out the inside of my soul
Thin ice covers my body
Thin ice covers my soul
Outside of myself
Outside of my soul
Cavities, devoid of truth
Sunken, reverberating footsteps
Echo hollowly
Emptiness, devoid of even emotion
A void between hollow valleys
Spacious sepulchral sound
Deeply indented
In my hollow soul.
