[Intro]
Shadows in my chest
Cold breath
Heard a voice in the vent
Said, "step"
[Verse 1]
Stare at the crack in the ceiling
It’s spreading, same as my doubt
Every good thought that I’m feeling
Hits the floor, bleeds out
Midnight
But the blinds still shake
Like something outside knows my name
Every promise that I tried to make
Turned to smoke in the frame
[Chorus]
I’m on a hollow descent
Can’t tell the echo from me
Room full of faces that fade
They look alive till I blink
I’m on a hollow descent
Fall through the faults that I keep
If there’s a bottom to this
It’s just a darker me (darker me)
[Verse 2]
I put my faith in the hallway
Where all my past selves stand
Each one holds my old mistakes
Like candles in their hands
They ask, "why you run from the fall, boy?
You were born in the drop, in the drop"
I got pride stitched into my jawline
Can’t cry, so my veins just clot
[Chorus]
I’m on a hollow descent
Can’t tell the echo from me
Room full of faces that fade
They look alive till I blink
I’m on a hollow descent
Fall through the faults that I keep
If there’s a bottom to this
It’s just a darker me (oh, a darker me)
[Bridge]
Step
By step
Lose
What’s left
Every lie that I told
Climbs in my bed
Whispers, "this is what you wanted"
Right?
Right?
[Chorus]
I’m on a hollow descent
Can’t tell the echo from me
Truth is a stair made of glass
Cracks every time that I speak
I’m on a hollow descent
If I survive when I reach
I’ll wear the weight of the fall
Like it was meant for me
