Verse 1
I should’ve felt the tremors in that handshake,
Should’ve seen the cracks behind the grin.
Preaching truth like some kind of savior,
But I never saw the mess within.
Yeah, all those borrowed halos
Were just horns dressed up as pride—
Every word was polished poison,
Every smile a place to hide.
Pre-Chorus
A throne built out of secrets
Can’t hold up when they come alive…
And everything that stayed in shadow
Found its way back to the light.
Chorus
You’re just hollow inside,
Breaking others just to feel alive.
A heart with nothing real to stand on,
So you tear through every tie.
But when the noise stops cheering
And you’re left with who you’ve been—
You’ll drown inside the silence
You’ve been carrying within.
Yeah, karma’s coming knocking…
Hollow inside — your reckoning begins.
⸻
Verse 2
Integrity was something you rehearsed with,
Never something you sustained.
I offered trust without a question—
You returned it with a blade.
You thought your darkest secrets
Would stay buried underground…
But truth rolls in like thunder,
And it always shakes the town.
Pre-Chorus
Now you’re choking on the echoes
Of the damage you denied.
You can try to outrun the fallout,
But there’s nowhere left to hide.
Chorus
You’re just hollow inside,
Breaking others just to feel alive.
A heart with nothing real to stand on,
So you tear through every tie.
But when the noise stops cheering
And you’re left with who you’ve been—
You’ll drown inside the silence
You’ve been carrying within.
Yeah, karma’s coming knocking…
Hollow inside — your reckoning begins.
⸻
Bridge
You hurt the world to feel something,
But those flames are burning you now.
Every lie you lit for comfort
Has come to burn your fortress down.
You’re the prison and the prisoner,
There ain’t no breaking out—
You forged your chains with every whisper,
Every selfish little doubt.
⸻
Final Chorus (Bigger, Dirtier, More Soul)
’Cause you’re hollow inside,
And there’s no one left to help you hide.
A heart with nothing real to stand on,
No truth, no love, no guiding light.
When the lights stop shining
And you face the void within—
You’ll beg for one more heartbeat
Not corrupted by your sin.
Yeah, the walls are closing in now…
Hollow inside—
This is where your reckoning begins.
