[Verse] You went out walking just to clear your head, Streetlights thinned till the town light fled. Funny how the air got polite and still, Like the night leaned close against your will. You swear the road was there before, But it curls like it’s been used too much. Every step feels soft and slow, Like the ground wants to keep in touch. [Pre-Chorus] You didn’t run, you didn’t shout, You just wondered where the noise went out. [Chorus] That’s how it starts, nice and neat, When the world goes quiet under your feet. He never grabs, he never chases, Just waits while the whole place rearranges. Keep on walking, nice and slow, That hum ain’t yours but you feel you know. He’ll wait all night, he’s got the reach, Every road bends toward Hollowreach. [Verse] You thought you heard someone keeping time, Low and warm like an old refrain. Not a tune you could sing along to, Just enough to settle the brain. Trees lean in like they’ve got jokes, Every step feels strangely planned. You don’t feel scared, that’s the trick, Fear left early, calm took its hand. [Pre-Chorus] You meant to turn, but lost the why, Funny how the hours slip on by. [Chorus] That’s how it starts, smooth and kind, When the quiet works its way through your mind. He never takes, he never speaks, Just lets you walk till you’re feeling weak. Keep it steady, don’t ask when, The path knows you better than friends. He’ll wait all night, he’s got the reach, Every road bends toward Hollowreach. [Bridge] They’ll tell you later you should’ve known. But nobody knows when they’re feeling alone. That hum don’t rush, it don’t demand. It just sounds like someone understands. [Breakdown] If you match the sound, even once, That’s the line, pal, that’s the jump. Not a shout, not a scream, Just a breath where you let it in. [Humming] Hmmmm Mmmm Mmmm Hmmmm Mmmm Mmmm [Chorus] That’s how it ends, soft and slow, When the night says, “You can let go.” He never runs, he never fights, Just watches the last sense of time unwind. Take one step, then another each, You’re already close to Hollowreach. He’ll wait all night, no need to preach, Every road bends toward Hollowreach.
