So hollow, so vicious, so afraid I couldn't let myself see…

“So hollow, so vicious, so afraid I couldn't let myself see that I could never be held back or up, no, I'll hold myself. Check the rep, yep, you know mine well. Forget the rest, let them know my hell. There and back yet my soul ain't sell. Kept respect up, the best they fell.” quote by Linkin Park
