Lyrics
Hollow Dream Intro: Why does it still feel empty? Why do I still feel empty? Why does it still feel empty? Why do I still feel empty? Chorus: Ive got it all, but Im still feeling empty. Why does it feel empty? Living the dream, but it still feels empty. Why do I feel empty? I thought with all these things and the world in my hands, Id feel fulfilled, cruising around the globe. I thought with all Ive got while travelling the world, Id feel fulfilled and enjoy this life. Verse 1: Something feels off, like a part of me is missing. I can hear the sound of my heart beating. Though its not dark yet, I still feel scared. Why, with all these many friends, do I still feel lonely? *Chorus* Verse 2: I was busy chasing the world and its façade. I felt the absence of light deep inside. Lacking that touch of pure love throughout my life, Lacking that pure love from You, Lordcome into my life. *Chorus* Outro: Why does it still feel empty? Why do I still feel empty? Why does it still feel empty? Why do I still feel empty? Copyright 2024 Richard Shekari. Written and Produced by Richard Shekari.
