Hollow Lights - Roots (feat. Aaron Isbell of Concepts)

[intro]

[Verse 1]

I wake before the horizon remembers its duty.
streets barely breathing, relishing in beauty.
and your world already twitches in the half-light for yours truly.
A woman slips out of a stranger’s door, in her disheveled beauty
mascara tilted like a confession of a sinful vanity
You think dawn erases evidence to beat the clock.
It doesn’t.
I’m perched here, watching your real selves, caught
before your fake ones catch up, processing  your warped thoughts.

[Chorus]

I am the Early Bird,
collector of the unscheduled-the unfiltered, 
things that shouldn't be heard,
you hope no one witnesses.
Your morning spirals fall into my lap
like donations to the secret act
that you're never meant to recognize.
I don’t judge—
I simply notice,
and noticing is enough.

[Verse 2]

A man digs a hole before sunrise,
hands shaking like the shovel owes him answers, Suprise!
He looks at me, whispers, “Don’t make noise.”
Like I will chirp and blow is ploy.
Sir… I’ve documented worse than you.
Across the street, two people argue in a parked car,
gestures sharp, voices thick with unfinished choices.
In the trunk, muffled voices.
They never see me sitting on the mirror,
studying them like a strange morning ritual.
But I see all your patterns, the stuff missed by all!

[Chorus]

I am the Early Bird,
patron of unintentional theater.
While you try to be unheard,  
I am here watching your fear
I archive the truth ensured
you will never hear.
Don’t resent me—
you’re the ones performing
your ill deeds for all to peer.

[Bridge]

Your species is loud
when it believes it’s quiet.
Your secrets glow behind the mists and clouds.
and yet no one claims to be behind it.
I am not a spy—
I am simply awake
at moments you prefer buried,
I'm there to take.

[Breakdown]

A sharp cry—
not warning,
just confirmation.
I saw it.
Every part of it.
I never forget.

[long solo[

[Final Chorus]

I am the Early Bird,
and the morning belongs to me.
Keep your afternoons of ignoranced gless
with your masks and your practiced smiles.
I’ll take the unscripted moments—the wild---
the ones you deny existed.
Trust me:
they existed.

[Outro]

Sun rises slow, pretending it saw nothing.
You stretch, you yawn,
you greet the day like it’s innocent.
I lift off, carrying your real stories
in the space between my wings.

Early Bird

He tricks you
Into thinking
You are special
When deep down inside
He knows you're not

For he is the

The puppet maker
For
The weak and the used
The puppet maker
Used by evil
To control you

He knows your weak
He knows you need help
He knows you weap
At his feet for himself

For he is the

The puppet maker
For
The weak and the used
The puppet maker
Used by evil
To control you

He's creeping
He wants to control you
He's creeping
He wants to 
Use you

For he is the

The puppet maker
For
The weak and the used
The puppet maker
Used by evil
To control you

He sees
That you are weak
Puts you on drugs
To put you at his feet

He knows your not confident
For you lie before your truth
He knows your not confident
As you allow him to see inside of you

For he is the

The puppet maker
For
The weak and the used
The puppet maker
Used by evil
To control you

The Pupper Maker
