Train

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.”
