Hollow glow

Verse 1

I’ve been walking through the static in my head,

Every thought a ghost I never laid to rest.

Trying to breathe inside a world that moves too fast,

While my shadows trace the outlines of my past.

Pre-Chorus

And I keep telling myself I’m fine,

But my heartbeat gives me away every time.

Chorus

So I fade into the hollow glow,

Where no one sees the parts I don’t show.

If pain is the price of being real,

Then maybe breaking is how I heal.

Verse 2

I’m a wanderer in rooms that feel too small,

Trying not to lose myself behind these walls.

People talk like they can read what’s on my face,

But they don’t know the storms I’m trying to chase.

Pre-Chorus

Still I keep saying that I’m okay,

But truth keeps pulling at the seams I fray.

Chorus

So I fade into the hollow glow,

Where no one sees the parts I don’t show.

If pain is the price of being real,

Then maybe breaking is how I heal.

Bridge

I’m tired of carrying the weight I never chose,

Tired of hiding from the world that never knows.

Maybe tomorrow I’ll step out of the haze—

But right now, I’m just trying to make it through today.

Final Chorus

So I drift into the hollow glow,

Quiet spaces where the hurt can go.

If pain is the price of being real,

Then maybe breaking is how I heal.
