HOLLOW SIGNAL

V5.5

[Verse 1 - female, slow and cold] I wake up and the ceiling's still the same I count the cracks like they could spell my name Coffee cold, the clock forgot to move I'm still here but I left this room There's a radio inside my chest It used to play, now it's just static and the rest I smile because they need me to be fine But nothing's getting through on any line [Pre-Chorus - female, building] I'm not broken I'm just... empty Not in pain Just out of signal Somewhere between Still alive and already gone [Chorus - female + male screamer erupts] I'm a hollow signal Transmitting from the void I'm a hollow signal Too numb to be destroyed You ask me how I'm doing I say fine, I always say fine But there's nothing on the other end Of this hollow, hollow line [Verse 2 - female, detached] I used to want things — god, I used to want Now desire feels like a language I forgot I watch people burn and love and break and heal And wonder when I'm gonna start to feel The mirror shows a face I recognise Same hands, same mouth, same tired eyes But somewhere in the last few years Someone turned the volume down in here [Pre-Chorus - female] I'm not crying I'm just... drifting Not in pieces Just not present Somewhere between Still breathing and already dust [Chorus - female + male screamer] I'm a hollow signal Transmitting from the void I'm a hollow signal Too numb to be destroyed You ask me how I'm doing I say fine, I always say fine But there's nothing on the other end Of this hollow, hollow line [Bridge - male screamer, raw and desperate] SOMEBODY PULL ME BACK I'M FADING OUT AND I CAN'T FIND THE TRACK THE NOISE IS GONE AND SO IS EVERYTHING I'M SCREAMING INTO NOTHING CAN ANYONE HEAR ANYTHING [Bridge - female, barely a whisper] I hear you I just can't reach back Not yet [Final Chorus - both, heavier and slower] I'm a hollow signal Still transmitting from the void I'm a hollow signal Not yet destroyed Maybe one day something Breaks through all this static and the grey Until then I keep sending From this hollow, hollow place
