Empty. Superficial

(Verse 1)

Empty, superficial, selfish

Is the ball and chain you drag behind

Your beauty used to shine like morning

But even sunlight learns to die

The years get shorter, patience thinner

And every mirror tells the truth

The weight you carry never fades

Unless your spirit starts to move

(Pre-Chorus)

You polish up the chains

Pretend they’re something new

But all that faded beauty

Can’t hide what’s breaking you

(Chorus)

So enjoy your faded beauty

Reflected in those pristine chains

Sitting still with shallow dreams

Lost inside your own domain

I’m not angry at the bullshit

Just sad for what you’ve become

I pray you find the strength inside

To heal and overcome

(Verse 2)

Every step you take is sinking

In the shadow of what’s left

Chasing ghosts of past attention

Trying hard to catch your breath

You hold tight to empty praises

But they echo like a lie

The truth is in the stillness

Where you’re terrified to try

(Pre-Chorus)

You polish up the chains

Pretend they’re something new

But all that faded beauty

Can’t hide what’s breaking you

(Chorus)

So enjoy your faded beauty

Reflected in those pristine chains

Sitting still with shallow dreams

Lost inside your own domain

I’m not angry at the bullshit

Just sad for what you’ve become

I pray you find the strength inside

To heal and overcome

(Bridge)

I’m saddened, not resentful

I’m hoping you’ll return

There’s something in your heart

Still waiting to be learned

(Outro Chorus)

Enjoy your faded beauty

But know it doesn’t have to stay

The weight you carry loosens

When your spirit leads the way

I’m not angry at the bullshit

Just aching for your soul

I pray you find redemption

And fight to make it whole
