Hollow Echoes

(Verse 1)

I built my walls from broken dreams,

Chased the stars but tore the seams.

Every voice said, “You’ll be fine,”

But the mirror shows a stranger’s eyes.

(Pre-Chorus)

Running in circles, lost in the haze,

Another illusion I can't erase.

Is this what it means to feel alive?

Or am I just trying to survive?

(Chorus)

I hear the hollow echoes call my name,

Promises burning, all sound the same.

If this is the life that they designed,

Why do I feel so dead inside?

(Verse 2)

I stitched my heart with shattered glass,

Hoped that time would let it pass.

But every scar is carved so deep,

A silent war inside of me.

(Pre-Chorus)

Running in circles, lost in the haze,

Another illusion I can't erase.

Is this what it means to feel alive?

Or am I just trying to survive?

(Chorus)

I hear the hollow echoes call my name,

Promises burning, all sound the same.

If this is the life that they designed,

Why do I feel so dead inside?

(Bridge)

I won’t be another cog in their machine,

Trading my soul for a shattered dream.

No more pretending, no more disguise,

I choose to live with open eyes.

(Outro)

The echoes fade, they lose their hold,

I break the chains, I won’t be sold.

If this is the end, then let it be,

I’ll find my truth, I’ll set me free.
