Lyrics

I lit a candle in the dark
But it flickered out too soon
I said a prayer into the silence
But the silence filled the room
I used to think that someone heard me
On the other side of pain
But now I talk to empty shadows
And get silence back again

If there’s a God above me
Then where was He that night?
When the light went out inside me
And no one held me tight

This hollow sky
Is all I’ve known
I scream Your name
But I’m still alone
If love is real
Then show me why
I’m still falling
Under this hollow sky

They say there’s purpose in the suffering
But I just see the scars
And I’ve been bleeding out in daylight
While they worship from afar
If there’s a reason for this breaking
Then let it speak tonight
’Cause I’m standing in the ashes
Begging for a sign

If You still walk beside me
Then why can’t I feel Your hand?
Is this silence part of healing
Or is this just Your plan?

This hollow sky
Is all I’ve known
I scream Your name
But I’m still alone
If love is real
Then show me why
I’m still falling
Under this hollow sky

But maybe faith begins in fire
When everything you built burns down
Maybe grace is not the answer
But the strength to stand your ground
Maybe love was never perfect
Maybe hope still makes mistakes
But even in this hollow sky
Something sacred still remains

This hollow sky
Is breaking wide
And in the quiet
I hear Your light
If love is real
Then show me why
I’m still breathing
Under this hollow sky
