Hollow Echoes

Echoes in my head won't go away tonight

Shadows on the wall dim the fading light

Tried to fill the void with a thousand dreams

But every time I fall I rip at the seams

I built a house of glass to shield my pain

But every crack reminds me it’s all in vain

The sky looks down like it knows my name

Whispers blow through trees but they sound the same

Empty rooms where my thoughts collide

Caving in with nowhere to hide

A hollow echo that time forgot

Searching for a something I’ve never got

A ship without a sail I drift alone

Drowning in waters I’ve never known

The stars above keep their cruel disguise

They shine so bright but ignore my cries

Oh the weight of the quiet it pulls me down

The silence screams louder than any sound

Deep within there’s a muted roar

The longing for something more

Empty rooms where my thoughts collide

Caving in with nowhere to hide

A hollow echo that time forgot

Searching for a something I’ve never got
