Hollow Streets
Minor jazz chords on piano shimmer darkly at 65 BPM. Saxophone harmony breathes in the background, bass walking slow and deep. The voice begins almost whispered, thick with smoke and scars, then explodes into a full, gritty, throat-shredding scream that sounds like heartbreak set on fire.

Lyrics
Verse 1
The streets, they feel so bare,
Every corner reminds me you’re not there.
Streetlights glow but they don’t shine,
I hear your voice, but it’s not mine.
Every step drags through the night.
Chorus
Hollow streets, carrying me slow,
I loved you deep, I loved you so.
Hollow streets, I face the pain,
I keep your memory in my veins.
Verse 2
Windows dark, the wind blows cold,
I clutch the past I cannot hold.
I try to smile, I try to stand,
But hollow streets demand my hands.
The night hums soft, it sings your name.
Chorus
Hollow streets, carrying me slow,
I loved you deep, I loved you so.
Hollow streets, I face the pain,
I keep your memory in my veins.
Verse 3
Dawn arrives, but I can’t rest,
I hug the night against my chest.
The streets are empty, but I walk on,
I carry you though you’re gone.
Hollow streets, fade tonight.
