Echoes of the Hollow String

Verse 1

Midnight hits the wooden floor again

Counting every shadow where we used to stand

Dust is settling over every frame

Still I catch myself repeating your old name

The keys are heavy under tired hands

Trying to rewrite what we couldn't plan

Chorus

And the notes linger long after you're gone

Playing out the echoes of where we went wrong

Every chord is a bruise, every silence a test

Putting all of our ghosts to a quiet rest

Yeah, the room feels too big when the melody fades

Just a shadow of us in the choices we made

Verse 2

Pages turned, but the ink is still wet

Harder to forgive than it is to forget

Looking at the mirror, seeing half a face

Trying to fill up this empty space

The metronome keeps ticking out the time

Leaving all the reason behind in rhyme

Chorus

And the notes linger long after you're gone

Playing out the echoes of where we went wrong

Every chord is a bruise, every silence a test

Putting all of our ghosts to a quiet rest

Yeah, the room feels too big when the melody fades

Just a shadow of us in the choices we made

Bridge

If I press down hard enough on the strings

Will it mend all the broken things?

Or just make the hollow sound ring?

Just let it

Chorus

And the notes linger long after you're gone

Playing out the echoes of where we went wrong

Every chord is a bruise, every silence a test

Putting all of our ghosts to a quiet rest

Yeah, the room feels too big when the melody fades

Just a shadow of us in the choices we made

Outro

Just a quiet rest

Just a quiet rest

Just a quiet rest
