[Verse 1 | soft melancholic clean guitar, intimate clean vocal, cold ambience] Crowded streets in quiet rain, Empty eyes behind the pain. People wear their painted grins, Fragile masks on fragile skin. Every day the same old track, Wake to gray, then fade to black. Hear the laughter through the glass— Fleeting lives that never last. [Pre-Chorus | drums rising, light distortion, tension building] I’m spinning in a place Where no one knows my face. [Chorus | explosive full band, soaring cleans + layered screams] It’s a hollow world, Where the lost ones roam. Where we trade our hearts for stone Just to feel less alone. It’s a hollow world, And we all just drift. Staring into nothingness, Waiting to exist. [Verse 2 | heavier low-tuned chords, restrained aggression] Schoolyard ghosts and office lights, Tired souls in quiet fights. Running circles in our heads, Chasing sleep in broken beds. Dreams decay like falling leaves, Hope is something no one believes. Smile wide, but never speak, Hide the parts of us that bleed. [Pre-Chorus | whispered vocals, escalating tension] No one really sees The cracks beneath our feet. [Chorus | heavier variation, double kicks, layered screams + cleans] It’s a hollow world, Where the lost ones roam. Where we trade our hearts for stone So no one hears us moan. It’s a hollow world, And we all just drift— Counting hours in the dark, Too afraid to live. [Bridge | slow atmospheric collapse, echoing clean vocal] Tell me—can you feel the sky collapse? Can you hear the sun go black? Does the silence in your chest Make it hard to take a breath? [Breakdown | crushing downtuned chugs, guttural screams, abrupt stops] This is not a life. This is just a pulse. Tear the veils away— Show the world is false. [Final Chorus | cinematic climax, orchestral layers, stacked voices, screams + cleans] It’s a hollow world, Where the lost ones roam. Where we bury childhood dreams Under skin and bone. It’s a hollow world, And we all just drift— Tired eyes and shattered fists, Too numb to resist. [Outro | solitary clean guitar, fading reverb] Welcome to this hollow world.
