Hollow Dive

Verse 1

I watch the night dissolve, hands gripping empty air,

chasing a feeling that’s never really there.

Smoke curls, soft and thick, whispers in the dark,

filling up spaces that feel hollow and stark.

Eyes heavy, thoughts sinking, like stones in a stream,

blurred lines between waking life and some dream.

It’s the taste of freedom in a twisted disguise,

a flicker of peace behind bloodshot eyes.

Shadows grow longer, I’m losing the fight,

surrender to silence, embrace the quiet bite.

Everything’s numb; it’s easier not to care,

drowning my sorrows in the stillness of despair.

Here in the haze, there’s nothing to face,

just moments passing, empty and erased.

Chorus

Pull me up or let me go,

I’m stuck on the edge, don’t wanna know.

The high is empty, a hollow dive,

but it’s the only way I feel alive.

Dancing with demons in shadows and light,

chasing that fix to feel alright.

Verse 2

Every day’s a struggle, a slow-motion war,

fighting against cravings I can’t ignore.

I’m reaching for something, a spark in the dark,

but each hit just tears another piece apart.

Feelings fade, faces blur, memories twist,

lost in the fog, reality slips.

Friends shake their heads, they’re tired of my pain,

but here in the quiet, it’s all I contain.

I’ve built these walls, thick as stone,

safe from the world but forever alone.

The noise outside fades, I’m deaf to their calls,

comfort found in these darkened halls.

It’s a slow burn, but it keeps me whole,

this poison becomes the only control.

Pre-Chorus

I keep sinking, deeper still,

quiet the voices, silence the thrill.

Everything fades, I can’t find the line,

trapped in a cycle that feels like mine.

Verse 3

I remember the light, a faint, distant spark,

the laughter and love before it went dark.

They say to pull back, reclaim my own skin,

but it’s easier to sink than start again.

I look at myself, a stranger’s face,

lost in the hollow, this empty space.

Chorus

Pull me up or let me go,

I’m stuck on the edge, don’t wanna know.

The high is empty, a hollow dive,

but it’s the only way I feel alive.

Dancing with demons in shadows and light,

chasing that fix to feel alright.

Bridge

I’ve walked the edge, leaned over the side,

felt the rush of falling, but never died.

The ground keeps shifting beneath my feet,

haunted by promises I can’t keep.

I reach for the light, but it’s slipping away,

one more hit to keep the ghosts at bay.

Outro

Tell me there’s more than what I see,

a place to land, a way to be free.

I’m lost in the dark, but I still hold on,

waiting for dawn, long after it’s gone.
