Hollow Ground I stand where the walls once stood Where the laughter used to echo loud Every memory turned to ash and dust Every promise crumbled into rust I reached for the hands that held me close Only to find the shadows of ghosts The home I built, the dreams I wove Slipped through my fingers like falling snow They say time heals every wound But time just teaches how to lose One by one they fade away Till there’s nothing left of yesterday I lost my name, I lost my place I lost the light that lit my face No corner left where I can hide From the empty space deep inside The air feels heavy, cold and still Nothing left that I can call my will I walked through fire to keep us whole But the fire burned my very soul No voice to call, no hand to hold No story left to ever be told Every road I knew is gone away And I’m just standing here today I gave my heart, I gave my all I watched it crumble, watched it fall Till there’s nothing left but silent grief No beginning, no end, no relief I lost it all, every single thing The joy, the love, the song I sing And when the world turns dark and cold I’m just a stranger to my own soul Nothing remains but the quiet ache No dawn to wait, no breath to take Just the weight of all I’ve known Gone forever, on my own Gone forever, on my own
