Below Empty

Verse 1

Most days I'm hollow, just an echo

Drifting through motions, barely a glow

A quiet void where the colors should be

Empty's my rhythm, my default key

Pre-Chorus

Then shadows creep deeper than I've ever known

Below the nothing, where the cold takes hold

I fight it with fire, claw back to the light

But the weight pulls harder through the endless night

Chorus

Below empty, where the sadness reigns

It swallows me whole, breaks all my chains

I hate this feeling, curse its cruel design

Try to shake it loose, but it claims what's mine

Mood turns to ashes, depression descends

No escape from the nothing that never ends

Verse 2

I force the smiles, chase fleeting sparks

Build fragile walls against the dark

But it seeps through cracks I can't defend

The undertow pulls me down again

Pre-Chorus

Friends see the surface, they don't feel the drop

The hidden currents where all hope stops

I scream inside for one clear breath

But the tide just rises, stealing what's left

Chorus

Below empty, where the sadness reigns

It swallows me whole, breaks all my chains

I hate this feeling, curse its cruel design

Try to shake it loose, but it claims what's mine

Mood turns to ashes, depression descends

No escape from the nothing that never ends

Bridge

These waves keep crashing, no shore in sight

I hate how they drown out my will to fight

Want to rise above, feel solid ground

But below empty's where I'm forever found

Final Chorus

Below empty, yeah the sadness stays

It carves me hollow in a thousand ways

I hate this prison, this thief of my fire

Snap out, rise up—still sinking deeper, tired

Mood black as midnight, depression takes hold

Below empty's story, forever untold
