New Core

Hunger Pangs

Embracing pain and hardship as teachers, proving that every flame burns away weakness and builds resilience

Lessons in Fire

Lyrics:

“Hollow… hollow… hollow within…”

I felt the light decay in me,
A flicker drowned beneath the sea,
Of everything I couldn’t be,
The cracks became my clarity.

I watched my veins turn cold as stone,
The ghost inside me claimed its throne,
No prayers can wake what’s overthrown,
I am the dark that stands alone.

Hear it fade… nothing left to save…

I tried to scream, but silence won,
I’m not the same as anyone…

I am the hollow within,
A shadow where the soul had been,
Breathe me in — I’ll let you drown again,
This is where the end begins.

“Can’t feel! Can’t heal! Can’t be reborn!”

The mirror breaks, but shows my face,
A thousand shards, my saving grace,
The pain became my own embrace,
Now emptiness is my sacred place.

No heart, no fear, no pulse to find,
I left it bleeding far behind,
In shadows deep I’ve been refined,
The hollow’s mine — I’ve been redesigned.

No more chains… no more pain…

I shed my name, I shed my skin,
The void becomes my origin…

I am the hollow within,
A vessel carved by every sin,
Breathe me in — the darkness under skin,
Watch the light collapse again.

“I’m gone! I’m numb! I’ve become!”

I looked for meaning in the silence,
But all I found… was me.
What’s left isn’t human…
It’s something free.

“HOLLOW!”

I am the hollow within,
Born again in the loss of skin,
Breathe me in — the void is where I’ve been,
This is how I rise again!

Hollow… hollow… hollow within…

“In emptiness… I finally begin.”

► Lyrics
Why did I have to be this way
Hiding in shadows I create
Getting crushed beneath their weight
ON MY OWN

Can't you hear my heart
Rip it out and pick it apart
Because something hasn't felt quite right
From the start

All these voices inside
Who are they to decide
That I'm reaching out in vain
Though I'd rather feel nothing at all
Than this pain

Why did I have to be this way
Hiding in shadows I create
Getting crushed beneath their weight
I'm paralyzed and it's killing me
I only wish to be okay
I feel them stare but they will never see
(I'm all alone)

Can you feel the heat
I'll surrender before my defeat
I guess I've run my course and now I'm
Obsolete

All these voices inside
Who are they to decide
That I'm reaching out in vain
Though this empty shell
Is everything that remains

Why did I have to be this way
Hiding in shadows I create
Getting crushed beneath their weight
(On my own)
I'm paralyzed and it's killing me
I only wish to be okay
I feel them stare but they will never see
(I'm all alone)

I see my shape as I'm fading away
Just a stain on the wall just a name to decay
I'm tired of playing someone else's part
Just to feel again
Fail again
I see my shape as I'm fading away
And I'm tired of playing someone else's part

Is it all in my head, Is it all in my head
Is there hope of redemption
Is it all in my head, Is it all in my head
I think I'm starting to see
Is it all in my head, Is it all in my head
Is this just a perception
Help me feel again
Help me go

Why did I have to be this way
Hiding in shadows I create
Getting crushed beneath their weight
(On my own)
I'm paralyzed and it's killing me
I only wish to be okay
I feel them stare but they will never see
I'm all alone
I'm all alone
I'm all alone

Event Horizon (Ближе к тебе)

Ok so it's quite a change up from the trip-hop style original beat by Sativa High found here https://soundcloud.com/sativa85-1, though you may still recognize the hypnotic bass, slowed way way down.  Thanks to SH for letting me sample the track,  definitely check out the original and her other works on her page, and let me know what you guys think of my odd take on it  https://soundcloud.com/sativa85-1
