(Verse 1)
Waking up in a world that's lost its meaning
Treading water in a sea that's always receding
Every breath I take feels like a step in quicksand
Caught in the gears of a broken system’s demand

Chasing shadows, losing sight of the dawn
Locked in a cage where the light is all but gone
The burden of existence, the weight of despair
I can’t find my way out, gasping for air

(Chorus)
I've been numb for so long, lost in this maze
Drowning in the echoes of endless days
When was the last time I felt the warmth of the sun?
I’m just a hollow man, always on the run

(Verse 2)
The sound of the siren calls me to wake
Another day, another chance to break
But these walls are closing in, I can't see the sky
Just a cog in a machine that bleeds me dry

Holding on to hope that's slipping through my hands
In a world built on lies, where do I stand?
I sold my soul just to make it through
Now I’m stuck in this hell with nothing to lose

(Chorus)
I've been numb for so long, lost in this maze
Drowning in the echoes of endless days
When was the last time I felt the warmth of the sun?
I’m just a hollow man, always on the run

(Bridge)
Where is the fire? Where is the fight?
Buried under bills, buried alive
In a world that never stops to ask why
We’re all just waiting, waiting to die

(Breakdown)
So scream it out, tear down the walls
This dead weight won’t break my fall
I need to feel something, need to feel the pain
To remind me that I’m still in this game

(Outro)
Numb no more, I’ll break these chains
Rise above the numbness, defy the pain
I’ll reclaim my spirit, reclaim my name
I won’t just fade—I’ll light the flame
