Dead Eyes and Hollow Hearts

[Instrumental Intro:] [The song begins with a minimalistic piano melody, soft and haunting. Atmospheric synths hum in the background, creating tension. A slow, heartbeat-like drum enters, leading the way into the verse.] [Verse 1:] You took me to a place where time stood still, Where shadows crawled like they were learning to kill. Your voice was there, but it barely made a sound, Like the light had gone out, and I’m nowhere to be found. Your eyes, they once held the weight of the stars, Now they’re empty vessels, like they’ve gone too far. I try to find the person that I knew, But I’m left with nothing, just a hollow view. [Pre-Chorus:] [I trace the edges of a life undone,] [But all that’s left is the ghost of someone.] [Chorus: screamed angrily] I’m searching for the pulse in what used to be, But there’s only silence staring back at me. The distance grows like a quiet divide, The space where we used to hide. Falling further, slipping through the cracks, Can we ever find our way back? [Instrumental Break:] [A dissonant guitar riff slowly swells, creating a darker mood. The drums become more present, adding layers of tension without breaking the haunting atmosphere.] [Verse 2:] You move like you’re caught in a dream, But nothing’s as clear as it used to seem. Your hands brush past, but they don’t feel the same, Like I’m chasing a shadow that forgot my name. There’s a cold that settles where warmth once lived, An emptiness that neither of us can forgive. I call your name, but it fades in the night, Another reflection lost to the light. [Pre-Chorus:] [I trace the edges of a life undone,] [But all that’s left is the ghost of someone.] [Chorus:screamed angrily] I’m searching for the pulse in what used to be, But there’s only silence staring back at me. The distance grows like a quiet divide, The space where we used to hide. Falling further, slipping through the cracks, Can we ever find our way back? [Bridge:] [Softer, more ethereal] There’s a weight I carry in the quiet hours, Like a burden that grows and devours. I see your face, but it’s slipping away, A memory that fades like the end of day. If I reach for you, will you even feel? Or are we both too far to heal? [Instrumental Breakdown:] The music rises, with heavy guitars and resonant bass creating a slow, powerful build. The drums hit harder, reflecting the emotional collapse, leading into the final section. [Final Chorus:haunting and angry] I’m searching for the pulse in what used to be, But there’s only silence staring back at me. The distance grows like a quiet divide, The space where we used to hide. Falling further, slipping through the cracks, Can we ever find our way back? [Outro:] [Slow, fading out] I’m losing you… in the silence we’ve made. The quiet echoes where we used to stay. I’m losing you… and the light fades away. We’re nothing more than shadows at the end of the day. [Instrumental Outro fade out]
