Empty Hallways
Danilo Pinheiro
Alone
Still alone
Alone inside my room, my thoughts begin to crawl
Echoes in my head like I'm trapped behind these walls
Through empty hallways I can hear it call my name
Loneliness is whispering: You're mine, you'll stay the same
This empty house is starting to breathe
The silence gets louder, it's choking me
And this void I tried so hard to escape
Is the only thing that ever stayed
Maybe I'll never feel
What it's like to have something real
I was never meant to be loved for real
Just pieces of me for the way they feel
They come too close just to take what they need
Then disappear, and abandon me
And I'm still here trying to understand
If there's more than this, if I even can
Or was I born just to fade away
Inside myself, where I always stay
Everyone who comes just takes their part
Digging deeper holes inside my heart
And when there's nothing left to steal
They leave me here with what I feel
I just wanna ride into the night
Take my bike and disappear from sight
Feel the wind tearing through my skin
Outrun the chaos that I'm in
No direction, no way back
Maybe peace is off this track
I was never meant to be loved for real
Just pieces of me for the way they feel
They come too close just to take what they need
Then disappear, and abandon me
And I'm still here trying to understand
If there's more than this, if I even can
Or was I born just to fade away
Inside myself, where I always stay
What if it's just me in the end?
No one to lose, no one to pretend
Then I'll run till the road runs dry
Chasing the Sun as it burns the sky
The void is calling
And I'm too tired to fight
If no one ever stayed
Why should I try?
Maybe I was never meant to feel
Anything more than what they steal
But I'm still running through the night
Looking for something that feels right
If I crash, let it set me free
From everything that's killing me
At the end of the road I'll see
If there's something left of me, just me
And the road
Till the Sun goes down
