[Verse 1] Silence falls from the sugar in the bin Through skin and breath their essence creeps in Fingers weave the brittle threads Thick as molasses and heavy as sin Children's laughter cracks like glass Beneath the brittle weight of dusty hands What once was bright, now filled with blight Fingers shake from their unsteady hands [Chorus] Breathe deep the candy air The sweetness hides the sour stare Sweet Hollow holds its secrets close A place where sugar matters most Beneath the surface the infection starts Cracked skin hiding unseen scars Sweet Hollow never lets you go Filled with smiles that are hiding foes [Instrumental Hook] [Verse 2] Hollow eyes and hollow face Tied with ribbons and wrapped in lace Candy smiles make fatal friends An empty sweetness staring back in The truth dissolves like salt in cream Who can see what’s underneath? The cauldrons bubble The sugar gleams Who will speak the truth unseen? [Chorus] Breathe the candy air The sweetness hides the sour stare Sweet Hollow holds its secrets close A place where sugar matters most Beneath the surface the infection starts Cracked skin hiding unseen scars Sweet Hollow never lets you go Filled with smiles that are hiding foes [Bridge] Hear the whispers in the keep They speak in silence, move in your sleep Carved from sugar but burnt in bone They pull the threads Unseen... Unknown... Here, no shadows cast Only eyes that watch and wait In the dark their sweetness spreads Filling mouths with sweetened weight [Chorus 2] Breathe deep the candy air The sweetness masks what you ingest Sweet Hollow keeps its secret best A place where sugar feeds the nest Beneath the surface the hunger spreads Cracked skin hiding creeping threads Sweet Hollow never lets you leave Filled with smiles Filled with seeds [Outro] Candy smiles now in the past Sweet Hollow crumbles into ash In every breath a sweetened pain A place where sugar knows your name [End]
