Hollow Lullabies

Lying awake in a bed of regrets,

Counting the scars that I can’t forget.

Every whisper sounds like a scream,

I’m wide awake inside this dream.

Can’t run, can’t hide, I’m tangled in the dark,

These hollow lullabies tear me apart.

If I fall tonight, will you hear my call?

Or am I just another ghost on your wall?

Sing me to sleep with your hollow lullabies,

Drown me in words, but don’t look in my eyes.

I’m slipping away, fading out of sight,

Dancing with shadows, lost in the night.

Fingers trace the cracks in my skin,

I swore I’d never let the dark crawl in.

But here I stand, staring at the edge,

Whispering to ghosts I can’t forget.

Can’t run, can’t hide, I’m tangled in the dark,

These hollow lullabies tear me apart.

If I fall tonight, will you hear my call?

Or am I just another ghost on your wall?

Sing me to sleep with your hollow lullabies,

Drown me in words, but don’t look in my eyes.

I’m slipping away, fading out of sight,

Dancing with shadows, lost in the night.

If I scream, will the silence break?

If I bleed, will I finally wake?

Tell me now—was I ever real?

Or just a dream you used to feel?

Sing me to sleep with your hollow lullabies,

Drown me in words, but don’t look in my eyes.

I’m slipping away, fading out of sight,

Dancing with shadows, lost in the night.

Lying awake in a bed of regrets,

Counting the scars that I can’t forget…
