Alternate Innevitability - Hollowed

Standing between the ruins of who he became and the memories of who he once was, the protagonist confronts Door III — the place where the echoes bleed. A world built from fragments of childhood, forgotten dreams, and voices that never truly disappeared. As his older self watches in silence, he begins to understand that some wounds don't heal through victory or revenge. They simply become part of you. Driven by haunting piano melodies, crushing guitars, and a slow-burning atmosphere, Hollowed explores depression, identity, grief, and the painful acceptance that the person you used to be may never return. This is not a song about losing hope. It's a song about what remains after hope is gone. Lyrics : HOLLOWED [Verse 1] The days arrive without distinction Each one wearing the last one's face The clocks still move around the room Yet never seem to leave their place I used to measure life in distances In all the things I'd someday find Now I watch another evening pass Without the need to ask it why [Chorus] I can still hear the house settling Long after everyone has gone Every room repeats the silence Like it learned it from my lungs Tell me what remains of all the years I carried through the dark I can still recall the warmth I just can't recall the spark [Verse 2] I found my name in old notebooks Pressed between forgotten years Like a photograph still holding Everything that disappeared The ink remembers every promise Better than I ever can Now I turn the pages slowly Trying to trust the hand [Chorus] I can still hear the house settling Long after everyone has gone Every room repeats the silence Like it learned it from my lungs Tell me what remains of all the years I carried through the dark I can still recall the warmth I just can't recall the spark [Bridge] Maybe every version of ourselves Keeps living somewhere out of sight Hidden in the folds of memory Beyond the reach of time Or maybe they dissolve so slowly We never notice when they leave Like colors fading from a painting No one thought to keep [Final Chorus] I can still hear the house settling Long after everyone has gone Every room repeats the silence Like it learned it from my lungs And all the things I thought I'd outrun Stayed longer than I thought I can still recall the warmth I just can't recall the spark [Outro] The night leans softly on the window The shadows gather at the door And somewhere in the quiet Something lets go Without a sound
