“Hollow Pulse” — (Hook) I been walkin’ with a hollow pulse, heart iced out, no trust left Everybody took a piece of me, now I guard mine like a war chest I ain’t breakin’ for nobody now, I learned pain is how you progress If you knew the things I swallowed whole, you’d call me ruthless, not depressed (Verse 1) I was quiet while they drained me, now I speak like thunder cracks I was loyal till it killed me, now I never take a step back I was soft for all the wrong ones, now I’m colder than a steel trap I’m the storm they never planned for, I’m the truth they can’t peel back I got scars that read like novels, every chapter got a twist in it I got nights that felt like drowning, but I rose up with a fist in it I got people who betrayed me, now they watch me from a distance I’m the version of myself that’s done with mercy or forgiveness (Pre‑Chorus) I used to break in silence, now I break with purpose I used to beg for love, now I see who’s worthless I used to fear the dark, now I walk beneath it I used to hide my pain, now I let you see it (Hook) I been walkin’ with a hollow pulse, heart iced out, no trust left Everybody took a piece of me, now I guard mine like a war chest I ain’t breakin’ for nobody now, I learned pain is how you progress If you knew the things I swallowed whole, you’d call me ruthless, not depressed (Verse 2) I was bending till I shattered, now I’m welded into something strong I was quiet in the chaos, now my voice is where it all belongs I was drowning in their shadows, now I rise like I’ve been dead too long I’m the echo of the battles that they prayed would never make me strong I got memories like weapons, every one could cut a soul in half I got nights that made me colder, days that taught me how to never ask I got rage that built a kingdom, pain that forged me like a steel craft I’m the truth they tried to bury — now I’m here to make the real last (Bridge) I don’t need their validation, I don’t need their empty praise I don’t need their explanations, I survived my darkest days I don’t need their fake affection, I don’t need their shallow ways I don’t need their resurrection — I became my own escape (Final Hook) I been walkin’ with a hollow pulse, heart iced out, no trust left Everybody took a piece of me, now I guard mine like a war chest I ain’t breakin’ for nobody now, I learned pain is how you progress If you knew the things i swallowed whole you'd call me ruthless not depressed
