Hollow Beams

(Slow, ethereal synth pads. Sounds of a faint thunderstorm. Vocals are reverb-heavy and melancholic)

Yeah...

Thought I knew what it was.

Thought I felt it before.

Nah, that was just... fear.

Had to learn the hard way.

(Beat is sparse—just a bassline and the vocal)

You only gave me

what your ego could handle

Hollowed-out affection, yeah, you left me with the candle

Burnin’ down the memories, trapped inside your past hurts

Mistook my patience for comfort, you never put in the work

Looking for raw and real,

you looked away

Panicked when I showed you unconditional,

what can I say?

Thought it was too good to be true, so you played the ghost

Sabotaged the only genuine thing that you needed most...

(Beat drops: Deep 808, tight trap snare, faster hi-hats)

This love taught me,

yeah it taught me

I have never truly

been loved before

Just a hollow, echoing,

shallow love

And I can’t live there anymore,

no, I can’t live there anymore

You broke it

just to fix your own ego

That’s how true love is lost,

yeah, that’s how it goes.

(Drum pattern continues, but synth becomes brighter)

A heads up: do not date

if you’re allergic to yourself

If you cannot find content,

keep your love upon the shelf

Don’t bring your baggage

to my door,

I’m not the repairman

You sabotaged the good,

now I’m the better woman

Questioning my intentions,

thought you were playing smart

But you just showed your emptiness

and broke your own heart

I loved you real,

you needed fake

Now you live with the mistake.

(Beat drops: Deep 808, tight trap snare, faster hi-hats)

This love taught me,

yeah it taught me

I have never truly been loved before

Just a hollow, echoing,

shallow love

And I can’t live there anymore,

no, I can’t live there anymore

You broke it

just to fix your own ego

That’s how true love is lost,

yeah, that’s how it goes.

(Heavy distortion on the 808, faster, aggressive rap-style delivery)

Panic!

Yeah, you panicked, when it got too real, you panicked!

Questioned everything, yeah, you damaged!

Everything I built, now I’m empty-handed?

Nah.

I’m walking away, I’m locking the gate

It’s too late to debate, I’m done with the fate

Of being the one that you constantly break!

(Beat cuts out suddenly on the last word)

(Beat returns, softer this time, just piano and vocals)

This love taught me...

I have never truly

been loved before.

(Beat builds up fast for the last time)

JUST A HOLLOW, ECHOING, SHALLOW LOVE

And I can’t live there anymore!

(Slow, ethereal synths return. Vocals fade out with heavy delay)

Don't date if you can't face yourself...

Unconditional...

Never loved before...

(Sound of door closing)

(Sigh)
