Blake Hollow - (2025) No Saint - X - A Secret Song for You (feat Demetrius Sage) [S01]

velvet mirage

I sigh a silence through my sleeves
Speak in gestures no one reads
Smile like it’s muscle memory
I’ve learned to disappear clean

It’s easier to bruise in private
And wear the wound like design
Tell me I seem so calm—
Yeah, that’s the crime

I wear soft armor, stitched in sleep
Hollow chest but styled so deep
Every glance a warning sign
Every touch pre-redefined
I stay sharp wrapped in quiet grace
Nothing cuts if you erase the place

You ask why I never flinch
I’ve made numbness feel like skin
You hold the match like a dare
But I’m already not there-
Oh, oh, I'm already not there!

It’s easier to hide in pattern
Than gamble what's not returned
The burn you fear?
I’ve learned to yearn and not get burned

I wear soft armor, stitched in sleep
Hollow chest but styled so deep
Every glance a warning sign
Every touch pre-redefined
I stay sharp wrapped in quiet grace
Nothing cuts if you erase the place

Some call it fear, I call it form
Some call it love, I call it worn
If I never bleed, is it still a war?
If I never crack, is it still yours?

I wear soft armor, stitched in sleep
Hollow chest but styled so deep
Every glance a warning sign
Every touch pre-redefined
I stay sharp wrapped in quiet grace
Nothing cuts if you erase the place

Some call it fear, I call it form
Some call it love, I call it worn
I didn’t break—just changed the shape they thought was mine
Soft as armor, stitched to tear but I'll be fine.

An explosion held back too long. Screams suffocated under the skin, fingers that scratch the soul from the inside. Guitars like blades, drums like detonators. Burning inside is the price of those who feel too much and keep too quiet. Now the silence explodes.

Lyrics
[Verse]
The ash is falling like a blackened snow
The fire’s inside me
It won’t let go
My veins are rivers
They're running red
A pyre ignites the thoughts in my head

[Chorus]
I’m burning inside
Can’t run
Can’t hide
The flames won’t die
I’m burning inside

[Verse 2]
A scream is rising but it makes no sound
The smoke’s a shroud that pulls me down
Every ember whispers
It knows my name
The heat’s a lover and it plays the game

[Chorus]
I’m burning inside
Can’t run
Can’t hide
The flames won’t die
I’m burning inside

[Bridge]
The walls are melting
The shadows crawl
I see my face in the fire’s thrall
Every spark a secret
A truth untold
This inferno’s mine
It’s fierce and cold



[Chorus]
I’m burning inside
Can’t run
Can’t hide
The flames won’t die
I’m burning inside

Burning inside

I don't blow smoke I just blow minds
Lip sync sin with my hands in time
You brought a ballad I flipped it to trap
Now your knees on beat and your zipper’s snapped

I’m tuned tight don’t fret, just feel
Got you strung out on sex appeal
Bridge too high? I bend like truth
No capo, just control and proof

Fingers like fire, rhythm like sin
Slide so smooth, you’ll confess again
I ain’t your first, but I’ll be your last
Call that a hook now let’s drop the past

Tongue in cheek, where the bassline dips
I eat the beat and your ego in licks
Tongue in cheek, hallelujah hums
I lick till your sins drip off my gums

Encore hits, you shake on cue
No second take when I’m through with you
Left you breathless, no need to guess
You’re still twitchin’, so I’ll take that as a yes

Your spine’s a scale I walk it blind
Every step a note, every gasp in time
No flat lines raise the stakes
Your body hums when the silence breaks

Call it obsession, call it a sin
You arch like a chord when I slide back in
Forget applause just bite the sheet
This climax don’t repeat on beat

I don’t need a stage just need a room
You bring the echo, I bring the boom
Solo act, no mic required
Just you, me, and this misplaced choir

Slide to the bridge and I bend your pitch
Moan in a loop like a DJ glitch
I don’t need stems, I sample your sighs
Loop it raw while your logic fries

Tempo tease your back in swing
Legato drip while the hi-hats sting
No filter cut I crave that hiss
Your echo rides every peak I kiss

I spit bars with your breath on mine
Call that reverb wet by design
Touch so loud it clips the track
We peak together then I drag it back

I’m in your mix, no quantize safe
You flinch on beat I bite the eighth
No metronome, just flesh and time
We sync like sin, then slide out of line

Fingers tracing that waveform slope
Each curve a note, each gasp a trope
You hit sustain while I detune grace
Now bend like truth ‘til the bassline breaks

Choke on tempo, I stretch that space
Delay your halo, reverb your grace
BPM bends while I bow your will
Even silence cracks when my touch stands still

I remix pain into pleasure’s key
Pitch you down ‘til you pray on me
Your spine a fader, I ride each dip
You mute the world when I grip that clip

Tongue in cheek, where the bassline dips
I eat the beat and your ego in licks
Tongue in cheek, hallelujah hums
I lick till your sins drip off my gums 

Swallow the verse, let the hook pull tight
We snap like strings in a spotlight fight
One take, one sin, one brutal send
No outro, baby just “play that again.”

Tongue in Cheek

Fade Away

[Intro]
Ohhh... (Ahh-ahh...)

[Verse 1]
Paper edges worn and frayed
Scattered pieces on display
Time-stained corners catching light
What remains slips out of sight

[Pre-chorus]
The air grows thin
As colors begin to spin

[Chorus]
Watch it fade away
Like morning mist, it drifts astray
Nothing here to hold, nothing left to say
(Nothing left to say...)

[Verse 2]
Fingerprints on empty walls
Echoes of forgotten calls
Half-remembered summer days
Dissolving in a silver haze

[Bridge]
Memories scatter like ash
Carried on the wind
Everything that used to last
Now falls through my hands
Through my hands...

[Solo]
[Atmospheric break with wordless vocals]
(Ohhh... ahh... mmm...)

[Verse 3]
Blurred faces float and fall
Time erases all
Four walls of emptiness
Where pieces of you still rest

[Chorus]
Watch it fade away
Like morning mist, it drifts astray
Nothing here to hold, nothing left to say
(Watch it fade...)

[Outro]
The frame stands empty now
As remnants slip away somehow
(Ahhh... slip away...)
[Atmospheric fade]

Tra le righe

⚠️ Trigger Warning: This song deals with themes of mental health, emotional neglect, and implied suicide. Please listen with care.

“I Didn’t Know I Was Breaking” is a track about the quiet damage we don’t notice until it’s too late. It’s not loud, but it hurts. If you’re in a fragile place, skip it for now.

You matter more than the story this song tells. ⚠️

Lyrics:

You made tea, didn’t drink it
Said the silence helped you think
I joked about the weather
You smiled like you might sink

You said, “Do you ever feel like you're still 13?”
I said, “Yeah… but I’m better at pretending now.”
You laughed too hard
Then looked down

I saw the mess behind your eyes
But I didn’t ask
Didn’t know how
Didn’t know I was allowed

Were you screaming in a language
I forgot how to hear?
Were you dying while I stood there
Just trying to disappear?
I thought I was holding space
But I was making you small
I didn’t know I was breaking you
By not breaking your fall

Found your note in the bathroom drawer
Folded like a prayer you never meant to send
You wrote:
“I’m not sure what hurts more
being seen, or being pretend.”

I kept the sweater you bled on
The song you said you’d die to
The toothbrush you left
Still waits like I do

Were you screaming in a silence
That I dressed up as peace?
Were you begging me for rescue
In your quietest release?
I thought I was giving love
But I just built up the wall
I didn’t know I was breaking you
Until you couldn’t call

…I didn’t know I was breaking
I didn’t know
You were already
Gone

I Didn't Know I Was Breaking

Close to the Flame


Turn my brain on, boot it up,
Remember all the things I do.
Don’t take long, cause let’s be real,
Every day’s the same old deal.

Pull my clothes on, I’m all set,
No different from the other fools,
Grinding hard to just get by,
Living by the same old rules.

Same old, same old,
Don’t dream of something new.
Everything I’ve ever done,
Is the same as I always do.
Same old, same old,
Follow the well-worn path,
The habits of a lifetime,
Can’t be broken just like that.

Turn my mind off, wind it down,
Forget about my careworn day.
Drink a beer, watch bad TV,
Every show’s the same to me.

Go to sleep, dream a dream,
Trapped inside a padded cell,
Try to scream, try to escape,
Eternity in this same old hell.


Same old, same old,
Don’t dream of something new.
Everything I’ve ever done,
Is the same as I always do.
Same old, same old,
Follow the well-worn path,
The habits of a lifetime,
Can’t be broken just like that

Same old, same old,
Don’t dream of something new.
Everything I’ve ever done,
Is the same as I always do.

Same Old, Same Old

🎤 she danced, he hesitated. I didn’t

🥂 I disco. He doesn’t. She knows.
