Hollows Behind Me

[Verse 1]
Footsteps on wet concrete
Thought it was mine
Just mine
But there’s an echo in my echo
Breathing down my spine
Shadows on brick keep bending
Into the curve of your face
Every time I turn my head
You slide back into place
[Chorus]
It follows me in the hollows behind me
Every time I look back
There you are
Like a stain in the frame of my memory
Like teeth in the dark of my heart
It follows me
It’s all that defines me
You’re the bruise I can’t disguise
A dark entity just haunting me
Living in the corners of my eyes
[Verse 2]
Lipstick on old love letters
Faded into rust-red scars
I burned them in the kitchen sink
But the smoke spelled out your name in the dark
I swear I saw your reflection
In a window I walked past
It smiled like a slow confession
As if time could ever take you back
[Chorus]
It follows me in the hollows behind me
Every time I look back
There you are
Like a stain in the frame of my memory
Like teeth in the dark of my heart
It follows me
It’s all that defines me
You’re the bruise I can’t disguise
A dark entity just haunting me
Living in the corners of my eyes
[Bridge]
Are you lover
Are you curse
Are you blessing in reverse (oh)
You’re the cross I carve in silence
You’re the prayer that just gets worse
I run forward
You fall faster
I look over
You’re right there
Wrapped around my shadow
Breathing in my air
[Chorus]
It follows me in the hollows behind me
Every time I look back
There you are
Like a stain in the frame of my memory
Like teeth in the dark of my heart
It follows me
It’s all that defines me
You’re the bruise I can’t disguise
A dark entity just haunting me
Living in the corners of my eyes
(You’re haunting me)

rock, Dark romantic alt-rock with male vocals, reverb-soaked baritone guitars, tom-heavy drums, and a slow, stalking tempo. Verses stay moody and intimate with close-mic vocal and tremolo guitar; chorus explodes with wide distorted layers, octave vocal doubles, and a soaring, anguished top line. Bridge strips back to bass and floor tom before a final, crashing chorus and a long feedback tail., romantic
