Hollow in the Dark

Lyrics

Verse 1
They tore the light out of my skull,
Left me drowning in the tar and blood
A name erased, a life undone,
Jack Nyras lost beneath the flood

The cult said I would rise again,
A failed rite carved me apart
Now I wander, hollowed, nameless,
With nothing left except the dark

Pre‑Chorus
No screams, no breath, no voice to pray,
Just dripping black from empty space
A mask of blue to hide the ruin,
A predator with a human face

Chorus
I am the shadow by your bed,
The silence pressing on your chest
I take the things you never guard—
Your organs while you’re at your rest

I leave no words, I leave no mercy,
Only tar where vision lacks
You’ll wake to find what’s missing now…
A gift from me—
I am Eyeless Jack

Verse 2
I watched you breathing in the dark,
Your brother sleeping down the hall
A surgeon born of eldritch pain,
My claws precise, my footsteps small

Your kidney taken clean and quiet,
A perfect cut, a perfect theft
You ran, but still I followed you—
A hunter who has nothing left

Bridge
Behind the mask, the tar still burns,
A memory of the ritual’s fire
I taste the life I steal from you,
A hunger born from cult desire

Your brother’s corpse, your organ bitten,
A warning left for you to see
The blackened slime upon the floor—
A mark that you were meant for me

Final Chorus
I am the figure in your doorway,
The weight that keeps your lungs from air
I never speak, I never falter,
I only take what’s hidden there

No prayers, no locks, no desperate running
Will save you from the cult’s mistake
Your life is just another offering—
Another organ mine to take

I am the hollow in the dark
I am the hunger in the black
I am the mask that never blinks—
I am Eyeless Jack
