[hook] [ pitched-up vocal sample with heavy reverb] Scars don’t show, but the pain still knows Every place where the blade went through me. Down below, where the pale light goes, Even silence sings right through me. The pain I feel makes this life unreal— I’m awake in a kingdom still dreaming. If I’m hollow, how do I heal? If I have no heart, what keeps on beating? When the bells all call and the old gods fall, I’ll be one small ghost with a will unbroken. If I was made to feel nothing at all— Why do I feel what was never spoken? (Why do I feel?) [Half-Chorus] The pain I feel makes this life unreal— I’m awake in a kingdom still dreaming. If I’m hollow, how do I heal? If I have no heart, what keeps on beating? If I was made to feel nothing at all— Why do I feel? Why do I feel? [Verse 1] I followed a cry through the mouth of stone, To a crown with no king on a broken throne. Every window stared with an empty eye, Every bell rang low like a last goodbye. They call me a ghost—but a ghost has a name; I came with no memory, carrying blame. Just a spark in a shell, standing barely tall, But something inside me still answered the call. [Chorus] Scars don’t show, but the pain still knows Every place where the blade went through me. Down below, where the pale light goes, Even silence sings right through me. The pain I feel makes this life unreal— I’m awake in a kingdom still dreaming. If I’m hollow, how do I heal? If I have no heart, what keeps on beating? When the bells all call and the old gods fall, I’ll be one small ghost with a will unbroken. If I was made to feel nothing at all— Why do I feel what was never spoken? (Why do I feel?) [Verse 2] I’ve spoken with dreams that refuse to wake, Watched kings become monsters for mercy’s sake. There are faces caught in an amber glow, Wearing smiles they forgot long ago. In the deepest dark, I found shells like me— Little empty prayers no god would keep. If the sickness is light and the cure is night, Tell me which one of us was born right? [Pre-Chorus] And the deeper I descend, The more the silence sounds like home. Every path that meets a dead end Leaves me somewhere I have known. I don’t know what waits below, But I know I can’t let go. If this kingdom dies tonight, I’ll be the last thing left to fight. [Chorus] Scars don’t show, but the pain still knows Every place where the blade went through me. Down below, where the pale light goes, Even silence sings right through me. The pain I feel makes this life unreal— I’m awake in a kingdom still dreaming. If I’m hollow, how do I heal? If I have no heart, what keeps on beating? When the bells all call and the old gods fall, I’ll be one small ghost with a will unbroken. If I was made to feel nothing at all— Why do I feel what was never spoken? (Why do I feel?) [Bridge – Half-Chorus Reprise] The pain I feel makes this life unreal— I’m awake in a kingdom still dreaming. If I’m hollow, how do I heal? If I have no heart, what keeps on beating? If I was made to feel nothing at all— Why do I feel? Why do I feel?
