Hollow Skin lyrics

Empty walls, they hum in grey I watch the dust erase my face Every breath a bitter thread Every silence louder than the dead Nails in the wood still whisper low The cracks remember what I won’t show Your shadow sleeps beneath my bed And wakes me screaming in my head Hollow skin, I wear it thin The light is gone, but it lives within Hollow skin, I let you in And every wound became my hymn I carved my name into the stone It bled like fire, but left me whole You spoke in rust, I swallowed pain But nothing sacred will remain Hollow skin, I wear it thin The light is gone, but it lives within Hollow skin, I let you in And every wound became my hymn There’s no escape from what I keep The night is shallow, but I sink deep And though I break, I still pretend That bones can bend but never end Hollow skin, I wear it thin The dark has teeth, but it won’t win Hollow skin, I let you in And every scar became my hymn
