Machinart - Small, Hollow boy

Описание: "Small, Hollow boy" is an unflinching, acoustic narrative of the years that shaped a silent endurance. this track explores the unpredictable reality of an impulsive home between the ages of three and sixteen. It’s about the "red sting" of a hand that comes from nowhere, the confusion of a child who doesn't know their "crime," and the eventual transition into a "hollow boy" who learned to vanish just to survive the weight of the house.

Lyrics

Three years old... table edge.
Standing on... a broken ledge.
No warning sign... no dark cloud.
Just the strike... fast and loud.
Father's hand... Father's boot.
Pulling life... from the root.
I didn't know... my own crime.
Frozen in... a loop of time.

The air is gone... the room is wide.
With nowhere left... for me to hide.
The sting is red... the shame is deep.
A secret that... I had to keep.
Nine years old... the house is new.
But the storm... is coming through.
A different palm... the same old heat.
Tracing patterns... near my feet.

And I’m falling through the empty space.
With the burn of pride... across my face.
It’s the flash of the strike, the "why" that’s never clear.
Just the heavy lead... of another year.
I learned to vanish, I learned to be stone.
In a crowded house... completely alone.
Yeah, I’m still... that small, hollow boy.

Sixteen winters... in the cage.
Feeding on... a hidden rage.
Mother’s slap... Mother’s glare.
"You're the reason"... she'd declare.
Slap for slap... breath for breath.
A living kind... of little death.
The instant comes... the instant goes.
Where it ends... nobody knows.


TELL ME WHY!
WAS I BORN...
JUST TO BE...
SO TORN?
NOT A WORD!
NOT A SOUND!
JUST THE WEIGHT...
ON THE GROUND!
SET ME FREE!
SET ME FREE!


AND I’M FALLING THROUGH THE EMPTY SPACE!
WITH THE BURN OF PRIDE... ACROSS MY FACE!
YEAH, I’M STILL... THAT HOLLOW BOY!
