You fade… you flicker… Beneath your own skin… I see the hunger carve your eyes A borrowed flame that never dies You chase the silence through the haze But every step repeats the maze Your pulse is pounding in the cage A voice that howls, a quiet rage You bend the moment just to feel But every hand you hold isn’t real I’ve tried to anchor where you drown But you keep pulling further down Hollow vessel, drink the night Fill the fracture, kill the light Chasing shadows, blind to cost Drowning deeper, always lost Your breath is trembling through the glass A fleeting high that will not last You bleed tomorrow for today And trade your voice to fade away The walls are talking in your head Their broken hymns are all you’ve fed You paint the fire, call it peace But every taste just pulls the leash I’ve reached for you in every storm... I’ve spoken truth in every form... But the vessel cracks... And still, you pour... Can you hear it? Can you see? The chain you love Will never leave Can you feel it? Can you breathe? The hollow vessel Always bleeds Hollow vessel, drink the night Fill the fracture, kill the light Chasing shadows, blind to cost Drowning deeper, always lost You fade… you flicker… Beneath your own skin… You fade…
