I Keep the Hollow Light E

I sleep with hollow dreams, the ceiling bleeds light My name sounds wrong in the middle of the night Broken glass smiles while I trace all the stains Learning how to lose and never learn again I keep the hollow light — don't let me sleep tonight Say my name out loud — make the dark feel right We break, we glow, then we start again Lose myself in you — hold me till the end I wander through hollow halls where echoes mark the way Nights stretch thinner than the thread I tie around my name Pockets filled with faded maps that lead to nothing safe I follow every lighthouse only to lose the flame Through the whisper in the brickwork I hear the footsteps of dreams Reflections in the glass make my shadow look older by degrees I stop believing in the light that spills down from the sky And cradle in my palms the ash of those who said goodbye I keep the hollow light — don't let me sleep tonight Say my name out loud — make the dark feel right We break, we glow, then we start again Lose myself in you — hold me till the end
