Hollow Tounges - Song

Описание: Sometimes it feels like everyone else knows how to live, like they’re following a script you never got. You try to play along, smile at the right time, say the right words, but it's fake. And you wonder too if everyone else is just faking it around you as well.

[Lyrics]
I've watched the way that people dance,
Threading lies through open hands.
Masks that smile, but eyes that drown,
Laughing loud when no one's around.

They turn love into currency,
Trade their wounds like souvenirs.
Is it cruel if I don't play along,
Or just honest if I don't belong?

If every breath is a fleeting loan,
Why do they cling to these brittle bones?
I've learned the language, but not the sense —
I wish I could pretend, I wish I could pretend.

Hollow tongues and haunted eyes,
Speaking words I can't define.
Ghosts of warmth in empty skin,
Touch that leaves but never sinks in.
Hollow tongues and hollow lies —
Is it worse to watch or worse to try?

I memorized their steps and cues,
Took notes on how they cut and bruise.
Wrote my lines on the back of my hand,
But they smudged before the show began.

Their dreams are gardens wrapped in chains,
Bleed themselves just to call it rain.
They say that loss is just a phase,
But bury grief in shallow graves.

I've seen them search for what they'll lose,
Grip their mirrors till they're bruised.
I've played their games, but never win —
I wish I could fit in, I wish I could fit in.

Hollow tongues and haunted eyes,
Smiling soft while saying goodbye.
Every touch a failed disguise,
Every love a sharp device.
Hollow tongues and hollow lies —
Is it worse to watch or worse to try?

Am I the ghost or are they the shade,
Fading away while I stay the same?
Is the fault in my blood, the fault in my skin,
Or am I just too tired to begin?

If I'm made of all that I could not keep,
Does that mean they’re made of everything they leave?
If I fall apart without making a sound,
Does it matter if nobody’s around?

They set fire to the bridges they need,
Cry when they're stranded across the sea.
Speak of faith like a dying wish,
And hate the mirror more than the sin.

I've wandered through their sleepless nights,
Seen them weep beneath the lights.
I've held their hands and watched them burn,
But never felt the same return.

Hollow tongues and haunted eyes,
Lost in mazes I can't define.
Ghosts of warmth that never stay,
Love that falters, fades away.
Hollow tongues and hollow lies —
Is it worse to watch or worse to try?
I wish I could pretend, I wish I could pretend.
