The Hole in You #v2

Lyrics

(Intro) (Piano: Slow, aching, minor arpeggios) The foundations... they aren't just cracked. They’re dust. How do you build on a ghost? ​(Verse 1) You were the pulse, the frequency I tuned into, Now I’m static, searching for a signal of you. It was a curtain drop—sudden, no warning sign, A total eclipse right in the middle of my design. Tragic is a word the dictionary uses for the light That fades before the noon, lost in the middle of the night. ​(Verse 2) They say "overdose," but that label feels so small, It doesn’t touch the brilliance, the weight of the fall. You were vibrant, you were color in a black-and-white frame, Now the world is just gray, whispering your name. I miss the way you occupied the space in the room, Now the silence is a weapon, and it’s fueling the gloom. ​(Verse 3) My soul is a mirror that you dropped on the stone, Shattered into pieces that I’m trying to hone. But the jagged edges cut, and the pattern is gone, I’m just a hollowed-out vessel trying to hold on. The foundation’s ripped out, the soil’s turned to ash, I’m living in the aftermath of your final crash. ​(Melody / Interlude) (Ethereal, haunting, high-pitched vocal hums layered with ambient pads) ​(Chorus) And the color drained away, left me painting in the shade, I’m standing in the wreckage of the light that you made. Oh, I miss you, I’m shattered, I’m ripped at the seams, Living in the gray of your ghost-ridden dreams. There’s a hole sized you in the center of my chest, And I’ll carry it with me to my own final rest. ​(Verse 4) I’m trying to rebuild, laying brick after brick, But the mortar is grief, and the air is too thick. It’s never the same—the layout is wrong, There’s a void where you stood, all the day, all the long. You were the anchor, the map, and the home, Now I’m drifting in the gray, entirely alone. ​(Verse 5) My heart’s not a house anymore, it’s a site of the blast, Where the future is buried by the weight of the past. Pieces can’t be recovered, the glue doesn't hold, You were the fire, man, and now it’s just cold. I love you, I miss you—it’s a physical ache, How much of this pressure can one spirit take? ​(Verse 6) I trace the perimeter of the hole that you left, A life redefined by the sting of the theft. Brilliant and bright, you were too good for this sphere, And the darkness just grows now that you aren't here. Colors are muted, the vibrance has fled, Just the echoes of everything we never said. ​(Bridge 1) (Building intensity, drums kick in with a heavy, driving rock beat) Rip it out! The foundation is gone! I’m reaching for nothing, I’m waiting for dawn! But the sun doesn't rise, it just stays in the gray! Everything I loved… just faded away! ​(Bridge 2) (Music strips back, intimate, pained vocals) I’m trying to build, but the floorboards are breaking. The cost of this grief, it’s a fortune I’m taking. I’m shattered, I’m hollowed, I’m ripped at the core. ​(Bridge 3) (Full, distorted, heavy metal climax) You were the light! And the world went cold! A brilliant soul, into the darkness sold! I’m breaking! I’m breaking! It will never be the same! ​(Outro) (Music decays back to a single, lonely piano note) Just gray. The color is gone. There’s a hole sized you. And it’s never going away. Never.
