Lyrics
Crowded streets in quiet rain, Empty eyes behind the pain. People wear their painted grins, Fragile masks on fragile skin. Every day the same old track, Wake to gray, then fade to black. Hear the laughter through the glass... Fleeting lives that never last. I’m spinning in a place Where no one knows my face. It’s a hollow world, Where the lost ones roam. Where we trade our hearts for stone Just to feel less alone. It’s a hollow world, And we all just drift. Staring into nothingness, Waiting to exist. Schoolyard ghosts and office lights, Tired souls in quiet fights. Running circles in our heads, Chasing sleep in broken beds. Dreams decay like falling leaves, Hope is something no one believes. Smile wide, but never speak, Hide the parts of us that bleed. No one really sees The cracks beneath our feet. It’s a hollow world, Where the lost ones roam. Where we trade our hearts for stone So no one hears us moan. It’s a hollow world, And we all just drift... Counting hours in the dark, Too afraid to live. Tell me...can you feel the sky collapse? Can you hear the sun go black? Does the silence in your chest Make it hard to take a breath? This is not a life. This is just a pulse. Tear the veils away... Show the world is false. It’s a hollow world, Where the lost ones roam. Where we bury childhood dreams Under skin and bone. It’s a hollow world, And we all just drift... Tired eyes and shattered fists, Too numb to resist. Welcome to this hollow world.
