## [Verse 1]
Hollow state of mind, but the bonfire still burns bright
Facing Lords of Cinder through the longest night
Depression had me fading like I'm turning Hollow
But Lordran taught me pain today means strength tomorrow
Estus Flask depleted, mental health deteriorating
Found salvation in the struggle, kept my soul from abdicating
Linking fires within when real life flames were dying
Ashen One resurrected every time I kept trying
Curse marks on my psyche, yet I still persisted
Like a phantom through the fog gate, somehow I existed
Anor Londo's architecture built inside my mind
A cathedral of resilience when I was falling behind
## [Chorus]
Don't you dare go Hollow
When the path's too much to follow
Light returns tomorrow
If you just survive tonight
The undying flame
Burning through the pain
Souls and runes the same
Teaching me to rise again
## [Verse 2]
Tarnished like my outlook before finding grace
Guided by the Erdtree through my darkest space
Traversed the fog of Limgrave when my mind was Blighted
Rykard, Lord of blasphemy, got me re-ignited
"You are maidenless," that's how my brain was treating me
But Torrent carried forward when my legs weren't underneath me
Bosses seemed unbeatable, just like my depression
But "YOU DIED" screens taught persistence was my greatest weapon
Miyazaki crafted worlds that made me feel alive
When reality was crushing, gave me will to survive
Now I'm searching for that feeling, that same elevation
Another world to pull me from my mental stagnation
## [Bridge]
Praise the Sun when darkness falls
Fear not the dark, my friend
And let the feast begin
Through Ash and Lords and Elden Lords
I found strength within
Like embers in the wind
## [Verse 3]
Seeking games with depth like Painted Worlds of Ariamis
Something with the weight of choices, consequences, promises
That rush when overcoming what once seemed impossible
The dance with Artorias, emotions philosophical
From digital depression into digital release
Gaming's not escaping, it's finding inner peace
So I journey onward like a Chosen Undead
Searching for the next flame to ignite inside my head
Until then I'll kindle what those games ignited
A resilience in spirit, determination United
Because what Souls really taught me wasn't just to fight
But to face the dark, embrace the struggle, and find the light
