Hollow Echoes

[Verse 1] They say, “Nature heals the empty heart,” But I stand still, watching it fall apart. The trees don’t speak, the wind feels cold, The silence here—it’s bitter, not bold. [Pre-Chorus] Is it me, or is the world too quiet? No whispers of hope, no room to deny it. The leaves may dance, the sky may glow, But inside me, nothing seems to grow. [Chorus] Empty skies, hollow ground, No solace in this beauty found. They say the earth can soothe the pain, But all I hear is the sound of rain. [Verse 2] They find the rivers a soothing stream, But to me, it’s just another distant dream. I reach for the sun, it burns my hand, I walk the soil, but I can’t understand. [Bridge] Is it the heart that’s numb, not the place? Or the mind that turns away from grace? If nature speaks, it speaks too low, For someone who’s lost where they should go. [Chorus] Empty skies, hollow ground, No solace in this beauty found. They say the earth can soothe the pain, But all I hear is the sound of rain. [Outro] Maybe it’s me who doesn’t belong, Not the forest, the sea, or the sparrow’s song. In a world that’s alive, I stand apart, Searching for meaning in this hollow heart.
