Hollow Frame

[Verse 1] Black wood splintered, edges worn thin, Hands built it up, but they won’t step in. Glass is cracked, but it still reflects, Something missing, something left. [Verse 2] Hung too high but it won’t stay straight, Nails drove deep, but they still shake. Time stood still, but the dust still fell, Holds no soul, just an empty shell. [Pre-Chorus] Ooh, cold hands pressed against the past, Ooh, whispers bleed right through the glass. [Chorus] Hollow frame, carved in gold, Holds no weight but it won’t let go. Shadows creep where the light won’t stay, Built for something that slipped away. [Verse 3] Bloodstains dried in the grain too deep, Try to clean it but it still won’t leave. Eyes stare back, but they’re hollowed out, A frozen scream with a shattered mouth. [Pre-Chorus] Ooh, cold hands pressed against the past, Ooh, whispers bleed right through the glass. [Chorus] Hollow frame, carved in gold, Holds no weight but it won’t let go. Shadows creep where the light won’t stay, Built for something that slipped away. [Bridge] Dust don’t settle where the nightmares breathe, Something lingers, something feeds. Took it down, but the walls still hum, Nothing’s left but it’s never gone. [Verse 4] Tried to burn it, but the flames turned cold, Tried to bury it, but the dirt won’t hold. Kept it hidden, locked it tight, But empty things don’t die at night. [Chorus] Hollow frame, carved in gold, Holds no weight but it won’t let go. Shadows creep where the light won’t stay, Built for something that slipped away. [Outro] Nails rust, but the mark remains, Took it down, but it feels the same. Hollow frame on an empty wall, Was it ever filled at all?
