Hollow Veins

[Verse 1]

They say I'm doing well

But the needle didn’t tell the tale

Vitals say I’m fine—

But they never check the mental kind

I built a smile like a barricade

Taped it up so no one’s afraid

But I can't fake the pulse that fades

When silence fills my hollow veins

[Pre-Chorus]

It's building up, I feel the spin—

The silence crawling under skin

[Chorus]

I got hollow veins, they echo when I move

No color in my blood, just shades I can’t remove

I scream in grayscale drеams

While they paint me in routinе

You can't revive what’s drained—

These are hollow veins

[Verse 2]

I tried to bleed my truth in sound

But they just turned the volume down

My rhythm’s gone, the beat’s pretend

I'm the start of a song that never ends

[Bridge]

I called the Judge but he let it ring

Guess he's tired of my questioning

No IV fix for this vacancy

Just echoes of who I used to be

[Pre-Chorus]

It's building up, I feel the spin—

The silence crawling under skin

[Chorus]

I got hollow veins, they echo when I move

No color in my blood, just shades I can’t remove

I scream in grayscale dreams

While they paint me in routine

You can't revive what’s drained—

These are hollow veins

[Outro]

Wires untwist, pulse stutters in air

Flicker, break, nothing feels still

Skin’s a cage but it’s open

The breath feels like teeth but it’s hollow

Whispers on the tongue, but they don’t land

Fingers in my mouth, but it’s all empty

I float in this place, it isn’t a room

I reach for the wall, it’s water

Eyes wide but I’m blind

Movement's a smear, a question unasked

There’s no shape, just edges

Where is the end? It’s nowhere
