Empty Shell Golden Frame

Verse 1

I paint a smile every morning

Velvet cheeks and borrowed light

Nobody sees the hollow places

Where I hide my heart at night

Pre-Chorus

But oh my hands are trembling

Oh my walls are wearing thin

I wear this face like armor

Till I cannot feel my skin

Chorus

I'm a husk with a mask of emotions

Empty shell with a golden frame

I'm a husk with a mask of emotions

Whispering her life in someone else's name

Verse 2

I laugh when they expect it

I nod along and play the part

But under all the careful colors

There's a quiet in my heart

Pre-Chorus

And oh I keep on walking

Oh I keep the curtain tight

But someday I will shatter

And let the real me see the light

Chorus

I'm a husk with a mask of emotions

Empty shell with a golden frame

I'm a husk with a mask of emotions

Whispering her life in someone else's name

I'm a husk with a mask of emotions

But honey I'm not done

I'm a husk with a mask of emotions

Watch me learn to feel again in the sun

Bridge

Maybe hollow means there's room

Maybe empty means I'm new

I will fill these bones with thunder

I will soften watch me bloom

I will fill these bones with thunder

Watch me bloom

Chorus

I'm a husk with a mask of emotions

Empty shell but I found my frame

I'm a husk with a mask of emotions

Whispering her life now I say my name

I'm a husk with a mask of emotions

But look at me now

I'm a husk finding my emotions

Letting everything pour out loud
