Hollow Reflections

Intro

Yeah... lookin' back through the pane

Hollow reflections, callin' my name

Chorus

Hollow reflections, starin' at me

Fadin' old faces I used to be

Hollow reflections, slippin' away

Fast as the years that turned into gray

Hollow reflections (reflections)

Hollow reflections (reflections)

Verse

I remember the basement, tapes on the floor

Spittin' sixteen bars till my throat got sore

Momma yellin' upstairs, "turn that mess down"

Now the house is quiet, just echoes around

Back when the city felt bigger than life

Chasin' the lights on a ten-speed bike

Friends in the driveway, laughin' till dawn

Now they’re just names that I scribble on

Fast-forward the reel, every frame skips a beat

Same kid in the mirror but the eyes look beat

Tried to outrun time with a pen in my fist

Every line that I wrote was a chance that I missed

Nostalgia hits harder than a knockout punch

Pullin' old photos from a shoebox hunch

Smilin' at the camera like the world was mine

Now the glass shows a man runnin' out of time

Chorus

Hollow reflections, starin' at me

Fadin' old faces I used to be

Hollow reflections, slippin' away

Fast as the years that turned into gray

Hollow reflections (reflections)

Hollow reflections (reflections)

Verse

I blink and the block that I knew is a ghost

New kids on corners where we used to post

Voices in my head keep replayin' the tape

Every "what if" line that I never escaped

Dad’s old jacket still hangs by the door

Smells like the past that I can’t ignore

I rap at the speed of a runaway train

Tryna out-talk the ache that lives in my brain

Nostalgic for nights when the beat was enough

Now the silence is loud and the memories rough

I see the reflection start to crack at the seam

Like every dream I chased tore another seam

Still spittin' fast 'cause the words won’t slow

Chasin' the kid that I used to know

Hollow glass shows the miles on my face

But the fire in the chest hasn’t lost its place

Bridge

Slow it down for a second, let the mirror breathe

Then speed it back up 'cause the past won’t leave

Chorus

Hollow reflections, starin' at me

Fadin' old faces I used to be

Hollow reflections, slippin' away

Fast as the years that turned into gray

Hollow reflections (reflections)

Hollow reflections (reflections)

Outro

Yeah... still lookin' back through the pane

Hollow reflections... callin' my name
