A recorded reading of “Hollow Bones”. If the player does not load, use the original audio source.
My ribs are rooms where no one stays— empty halls with velvet dust. You touched my spine like a prayer, but even faith can rust. I built myself from broken things, glass teeth, a wire tongue. You sang into my hollows once— made them sound like lungs. Your whispers live inside my marrow, they hum when the moon draws near. You carved your vows into my silence but forgot to leave them here. Now I unravel in the quiet, the damage softly done. No arms to hold me—just absence. Just silence, song, and none.
Lyrics
My ribs are rooms where no one stays (Empty halls with velvet dust) You touched my spine like a prayer once But even faith can rust I built myself from broken things Glass teeth, a wire tongue But you, you sang into my hollows And made them sound like lungs Was it love, or just your echo? Was I whole, or just your ghost? I’m made of hollow bones (They ring with your name) Every breath’s a haunted note (I sing, I break) I was never meant to fly But I fell for you like sky Now there’s silence in my soul And music in my cry I kept your whispers in my marrow (They hum when the moon is near) You carved your vows into my silence But forgot to leave them here I was the storm you barely noticed The shadow in your sun Now I unravel in the quiet The damage softly done Was it love, or just your echo? Was I whole, or just your ghost? I’m made of hollow bones (They ring with your name) Every breath’s a haunted note (I sing, I break) I was never meant to fly But I fell for you like sky Now there’s silence in my soul And music in my cry Can you hear me now in the quiet? Where your love used to sleep? I don’t need your arms to hold me Just your absence on repeat I’m made of hollow bones (They ring with your name) Every breath’s a haunted note (I sing, I break) I was never meant to fly But I fell for you like sky Now there’s silence in my soul And music in my cry
