Hollow Hands

Lyrics

Verse 1
I used to be someone you could hold,
Before the world turned my heartbeat cold
Sister’s laughter still haunts my dreams,
Now everything’s quieter than it seems
The house still smells like smoke and fear,
I hear the past every time I hear a tic near

Pre‑Chorus
I shake, I twitch, I break apart,
Trying to stitch together a ruined heart
But every memory cuts like glass,
And every breath drags up the past

Chorus
These hollow hands don’t feel a thing,
Not fire, not pain, not suffering
These hollow hands were once my own,
Now they follow orders from the unknown
I’m fading fast, I’m losing me —
A ghost inside a body I can’t free

Verse 2
Mother’s tears on the kitchen floor,
Father’s rage behind every door
I ran from the wreckage, but not from the scars,
They cling to me tighter than the distant stars
The doctors said I’d heal in time,
But time just sharpened what’s left of my mind

Pre‑Chorus
I twitch, I crack, I fall again,
A puppet pulled by phantom hands
The static whispers in the trees,
Calling out my tragedies

Chorus
These hollow hands don’t feel a thing,
Not fire, not pain, not suffering
These hollow hands were once my own,
Now they follow orders from the unknown
I’m fading fast, I’m losing me —
A ghost inside a body I can’t free

Bridge
If I could feel, I’d feel regret,
But numbness is the only friend I’ve met
I hear him calling in the dark,
A faceless god with a silver mark
And though I know I’m slipping deep,
His voice is the only one I keep

Breakdown
Click in my jaw,
Crack in my spine,
I’m not sure what’s yours or mine
The world shakes with every tic,
And every second feels too quick

Final Chorus
These hollow hands don’t feel a thing,
Not fire, not pain, not suffering
These hollow hands were once my own,
Now they follow orders from the unknown
I’m fading fast, I’m losing me —
A ghost inside a body I can’t free
These hollow hands, they’re all I am,
A shattered boy who never ran
