Hollow But Unbroken

(Verse 1)
I’m a shadow in the mirror, nothing looking back
Every heartbeat feels like thunder, breaking where I lack
Buried in the silence, drowning in the doubt
But I’m not going under, I’m still clawing out

(Pre-Chorus)
Cut me down, I’ll bleed the sky
Feed the void, I won’t comply
I’m the fracture, I’m the scream
I’m the ghost that still believes

(Chorus)
I feel hollow, but I won’t stay down
Tear my voice out, I’ll still make a sound
Ashes in my chest, fire in my veins
Empty as I am, I still remain

(Verse 2)
These scars are sermons written in my skin
Every loss a weapon forged from deep within
You can take the light, you can steal the air
But I’ll fight the darkness, I’ll be burning there


Silence… Silence… It swallows me whole!
But chaos cracks the cage,
I’m not your broken soul!
Empty fists, but they still swing!
Hollow heart, but I still sing!

(Chorus)
I feel hollow, but I won’t stay down
Tear my voice out, I’ll still make a sound
Ashes in my chest, fire in my veins
Empty as I am, I still remain


Fall into the dark—
But I’ll drag you with me!
Nothing left to lose—
So you’ll never break me!

(Outro – fading scream/whisper)
Hollow… hollow… hollow…
But I… still… fight…
