[Verse 1]
Cold rain falling
through the streetlights
Empty faces
passing by
I still hear you
through the silence
Like a ghost
I can’t outrun
Late night whispers
through the hallway
Half-lit shadows
on the walls
Every memory
turns against me
Every echo
starts to call
[Pre-Chorus]
Tell me why
I still feel you here
Tell me why
the silence sounds like fear
[Chorus]
Hollow veil
covering my eyes
Hollow veil
hiding all the lies
I tried to leave
but you remained
Like fading smoke
inside my veins
Hollow veil
pulling me below
Hollow veil
never letting go
Every night
it starts again
And I still hear
your voice in the end
[Verse 2]
Slow heart beating
through the darkness
Old photographs
against the floor
Your reflection
moves behind me
Like I’ve seen
this all before
Maybe time
was never healing
Maybe nothing
really fades
Maybe every broken feeling
Finds a way
to still remain
[Bridge]
(soft piano)
If I disappear tonight
Would anybody know my name?
Or would I vanish
like a shadow
inside the rain?
[growing instrumental]
[Final Chorus]
Hollow veil
covering my eyes
Hollow veil
buried deep inside
Every dream
returns the same
A distant voice
calling my name
Hollow veil
pulling me below
Hollow veil
never letting go
And in the end
through all the silence
I still become
what I can’t escape
(softly)
Somewhere in the dark
you still remain
