You
smile beneath fluorescent scars
Counting halos made of cars
The city glows but never feels
A thousand lights that never heal
Your gaze is glass, your pulse is thin
You let the day seep through your skin
We chase the warmth we can't define
A spark without a light
Hollow eyes, bright sky We burn but never cry
Our hearts just hum and lie To stay alive
Hollow eyes,
bright sky We fade and amplify We shine until we die And call it life
The morning hums a borrowed tune
Another sun dies far too soon
Your shadow hums a longing grave A promise that forgot to stay
We built our hope from silver screens
And call it truth or so it seems
But every glow begins to tire When hearts expire
Maybe light's a form of grief
A trick we use for brief relief
And though
we gleam through cracks and pain
We're hollow
just the same
