[Intro]
Clean strings ring out
Tiny echoes
Huge room
My hands shake over nothing
Still hear you in the bloom
[Verse 1]
Clock hands carve the skin
Same four walls
New cracks in
Bite my tongue till it stalls
Taste rust
Swallow it all
Every promise turned weight
Hanging low from my vertebrae
You said “grow
You’ll be fine”
Now I’m roots in a fault line
[Chorus]
Hollow bloom
Growing in the dark inside my chest
You left too soon
But your shadow never learned to rest
I’m alive
I’m alive
But it feels like borrowed time
Hollow bloom
And I’m cracking from the climb
[Verse 2]
Chewed nails
White lights hum
Every win feels like a con
Smile sharp
Paper thin
Hold my breath
Count to ten
Friends talk in bright reels
I scroll past how “perfect” feels
Type “I’m good” then erase
Can’t translate this static ache
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
[long
Searing guitar solo over shifting djent rhythms]
[low vocal register]
If I break
Will something grow?
If I stay
I’ll never know
I’ve been bleeding through the seams
Just to prove I still can dream
[Outro]
Same clean notes
Now frayed at the edge
Ghost of you
On every fret
I fade out
With the reverb’s glow
Leave this room
But the bloom won’t go
