Sleep City

ME VS YOU

Rise Above

[Intro]
Empty chest, hollow void
Nothing left to destroy

[Verse 1]
You used to fill the spaces
Between my broken ribs
Now I'm counting heartbeats
That never existed
(Growl) Can't breathe through the absence
(Growl) Can't feel what was never real

[Pre-Chorus]
Tell me why you haunt
These empty halls inside
Tell me why you stay
When there's nothing left to find

[Chorus]
I'm speaking to the void where you used to be
Screaming at the silence, can't you hear me?
Every breath I take feels like drowning
In the space you left behind
Behind!

[Verse 2]
Your voice echoes through chambers
That were never truly filled
I built these walls around us
But you were never here
(Growl) Talking to the air again
(Growl) Waiting for replies that never come

[Pre-Chorus]
Tell me why you haunt
These empty halls inside
Tell me why you stay
When there's nothing left to find

[Chorus]
I'm speaking to the void where you used to be
Screaming at the silence, can't you hear me?
Every breath I take feels like drowning
In the space you left behind
Behind!

[Bridge]
Was it ever real?
Did you ever care?
Or was I just speaking
To the empty air?
(Growl) Empty air!
(Growl) Nothing there!

[Solo]

[Breakdown]
(Growl) Hollow void!
(Growl) Nothing left!
(Growl) Hollow void!
(Growl) Final breath!

[Chorus]
I'm speaking to the void where you used to be
Screaming at the silence, can't you hear me?
Every breath I take feels like drowning
In the space you left behind

[Outro]
Empty chest, hollow void
Nothing left to destroy
(Growl) Nothing left...

Voidborn

[Verse 1]
Bloodstained pages torn apart
From tomorrow's burning heart
What waits beyond this razor wire?
Built from bones and broken fire

Faster, faster, flesh decays
Through the maze of rusted days
Cannot stop the grinding wheel
Time cuts deeper than cold steel

[Pre-Chorus]
Break the chain! Break the chain!
Rushing through my rotting veins

[Chorus]
FUCK the man I'll never be!
FUCK the ghost that haunts me free!
Screaming at my future face
Carved from scars I can't erase
FUCK tomorrow's bleeding throne!
Leave me here to die alone!

[Verse 2]
Shattered glass beneath my feet
Every heartbeat tastes defeat
Running from the man I am
Into hell's forgotten plan

Crushing weights upon my chest
From the future's burning test
Words I'll never get to speak
To the strong man from the weak

[Pre-Chorus]
Break the chain! Break the chain!
Acid burning through my brain

[Chorus]
FUCK the man I'll never be!
FUCK the ghost that haunts me free!
Screaming at my future face
Carved from scars I can't erase
FUCK tomorrow's bleeding throne!
Leave me here to die alone!

[Breakdown]
TEAR! THE! PAGES! OUT!
TEAR! THE! PAGES! OUT!
What's left to write?
What's left to fight?

[Bridge]
Faster now the blade comes down
From tomorrow's burning crown
I am rage, I am the storm
Built to break and be reborn

[Final Chorus]
FUCK the man I'll never be!
FUCK the ghost that haunts me free!
Screaming at my future face
Carved from scars I can't erase
FUCK tomorrow's bleeding throne!
FUCK tomorrow's bleeding throne!

[Outro]
Leave me here...
Leave me here...
To die alone!

Lyrics by Mark Xenophontos 

------------------------

Your suitcase by the door again, another Thursday flight
Cash folded by the bedside, boarding pass held tight
Your phone lights up—three names you won't remember
While he's asking the babysitter if you're coming home in December

You're hunting something nameless in a stranger's bed
He's drawing stick figures with two heads

You're building kingdoms out of breaking glass
Trading years for temporary heat
The deadbolt turns, the seasons pass

And small hands stop reaching when you leave
Small hands stop reaching when you leave

Watching from the corner booth, untethered and alive
You tell yourself that freedom means you don't apologize
But something flickers when a child's voice cuts the noise
The way you grip your glass destroys your poise

You're teaching him that staying isn't what the worthy do
He's learning love looks just like walking through

You're building kingdoms out of breaking glass
Trading years for temporary heat
The deadbolt turns, the seasons pass

And small hands stop reaching when you leave
Small hands stop reaching when you leave

His height marks on the wall you'll never see
Your suitcase wheels have worn a groove into the floor
The key you threw away has rusted through
Every lock you own is haunted now by you

Scrape the ink, destroy the costume clean
Let him see the person, not the scene
The deadbolt's just a choice you make tonight
There's still a door, there's still a light

But small hands stop reaching when you leave
Small hands stop reaching...

You won't take it off, the mirror knows
Another crowd, another pose
His small hand reaching through the empty air
Learning early that you were never really there

Small Hands

UK and Cyprus-based songwriter and producer crafting melodies that bridge worlds. My music springs from life's raw experiences—the highs, the lows, and the moments of clarity in between.

Drawing inspiration from the Mediterranean shores of Cyprus and the rich musical heritage of the UK, I weave stories of faith, resilience, and hope into every track. My songs are conversations—honest reflections on the journey, celebrations of life's beauty, and reminders that even in our darkest moments, light finds a way.

When you listen to my music, you're not just hearing songs—you're experiencing chapters of a shared human story, one that acknowledges our struggles while embracing the possibility of tomorrow.

Join me as we explore what it means to live authentically, to believe in something greater, and to find meaning in both the extraordinary and the everyday.
