Hollow Shell

[Intro] (Verse 1) Woke up to the city's cough, a symphony of grey Sun's a stranger peeking through, forgotten yesterday Another day in this concrete maze, a million lives in pain Just another face, another soul, all washed away by rain (Chorus) This life, a hollow shell, a whisper in the storm A candle burning out, barely keeping me warm Hope's a distant memory, a dream I used to hold Lost in the shadows now, a story yet untold (Verse 2) Mirrors crack a broken smile, a stranger stares back at me Eyes that hold a world of hurt, a reflection I can't see Empty streets and neon signs, a world that's cold and vast Searching for a reason, a purpose that won't last (Chorus) This life, a hollow shell, a whisper in the storm A candle burning out, barely keeping me warm Hope's a distant memory, a dream I used to hold Lost in the shadows now, a story yet untold [Instrumental] [Saxophone Solo] (Bridge) The clock ticks by, a mocking laugh, a reminder of the end Is this all there is to life? Just existing, not a friend Will the darkness swallow me whole? Will I ever find the light? Or am I destined to wander, lost in this eternal night? (Chorus) This life, a hollow shell, a whisper in the storm A candle burning out, barely keeping me warm Hope's a distant memory, a dream I used to hold Lost in the shadows now, a story yet untold (Outro) Lost in the shadows, a whisper on the breeze This life, this darkness, is all that will ever appease [Instrumental]
