**Verse I**
Tongue tied in sacrament
I bite down on your name
Salt in the bloodstream
Love spelled out in shame
I learned your shape in shadows
Measured time in cuts
You spoke—
I emptied
I was never enough
**Pre-Chorus (Rhythmic / Repetitive)**
Count the breaths
Split the skin
Let the silence
Pull me in
I was built to break
I was meant to bend
I was yours
Until the end
**Chorus (Low, Crushing Groove)**
Say it slow
Say it twice
Turn my blood into advice
If this ache is holy
Let it eat me alive
Mark my chest
Claim the loss
Draw a god in what I’m not
I don’t need forgiveness
I just need it to stop
**Verse II**
Hands shook when you touched me
Like the earth knew better
I bled through every promise
You called it “pressure”
I swallowed every omen
Called the rot “truth”
If love is a language
I died in your vowel sounds
**Pre-Chorus**
Keep the beat
Crack the bone
I was never
My own
**Chorus (More Open / Distant)**
Say my name
Erase my face
Turn devotion into waste
If this pain’s a lesson
I have learned my place
Bury me
Where I stand
Let me rust inside your plans
I don’t want redemption
I just want your hands
**Bridge (Ritual / Minimal)**
No light
No crown
Just a signal
Breaking down
I stayed still
You moved on
Now the echo
Wears me wrong
**BREAKDOWN (VERY HEAVY / RHYTHMIC / CHANTED)**
CUT
ME
OPEN
CUT
ME
CLEAN
MAKE
ME
USEFUL
MAKE
ME
MEAN
I GAVE
YOU
FORM
YOU
MADE
ME
VOID
NO
VOICE
NO
CHOICE
BEAT ME INTO RHYTHM
BREAK ME INTO SOUND
I’M NOTHING BUT A PATTERN
YOU NEVER STUCK AROUND
WHO AM I
WHO AM I
WHEN THE WORSHIP
LOSES TIME?
**Final Chorus (Half-Time, Suffocating)**
Say it once
Say it dead
Let it live inside my head
If I’m only what you took
Then I’m better left unread
Lay me down
In the noise
Turn my grief into a choice
If this love was ever real
Why do I feel destroyed?
**Outro (Fading / Whispered)**
Still counting
Still bent
Still yours
In the absence
No god
No end
Just the rhythm
Of what you left
HollowVotive
