Solitude's Embrace

Verse 1)

Another dawn, the same old ache, a familiar chill I can't quite shake.

The whispers here, they know my name, stoking the embers of a dying flame.

Said I don't need your arms to hold me, said misery would always mold me.

But the comfort’s worn, the edges frayed, in this self-made darkness, I've truly stayed.

The walls are closing, slowly, tight, no glimpse of sun, no guiding light.

The voices used to sing along, now they just drone a weary song.

I built this fortress, brick by brick, from every wound, every painful prick.

Now freedom feels like falling down, a hollow echo in this lonely town.

(Pre-Chorus)

I used to think I had it all, within this shadowed, self-built wall.

But the air grows thin, the pressure mounts, as this internal battle counts.

(Chorus)

Solitude's embrace, it's losing grace,

A hollow comfort, a forgotten space.

The company I craved, now feels like chains,

Washing over me with bitter rains.

Can I break free, from what I've known?

Or am I destined to die alone?

This misery, it used to keep me warm,

Now it's the eye of my own growing storm.

(Verse 2)

The world outside, it keeps on turning, a fire in my gut keeps burning.

To feel something new, to break the mold, a story yet untold.

I see the faces, passing by, a silent question in each eye.

They think they know the reasons why I choose to let my spirit die.

But it's deeper now, beyond their sight, a constant wrestling, day and night.

The solace found in being down, has turned into a heavy crown.

The dark road stretched, I walked it then, but now I long to walk again,

Towards a place where shadows cease, and my own mind can find some peace.

(Pre-Chorus)

I used to think I had it all, within this shadowed, self-built wall.

But the air grows thin, the pressure mounts, as this internal battle counts.

(Chorus)

Solitude's embrace, it's losing grace,

A hollow comfort, a forgotten space.

The company I craved, now feels like chains,

Washing over me with bitter rains.

Can I break free, from what I've known?

Or am I destined to die alone?

This misery, it used to keep me warm,

Now it's the eye of my own growing storm.

(Bridge)

What if the voices fade to silence,

And there's nothing left but defiance?

To choose the light, to feel the sting,

Of all the hope that life can bring.

It's terrifying, this unknown,

To face the future, truly grown.

But clinging to the past's embrace,

Leaves me stuck in this desolate place.

(Guitar Solo)

(Chorus)

Solitude's embrace, it's losing grace,

A hollow comfort, a forgotten space.

The company I craved, now feels like chains,

Washing over me with bitter rains.

Can I break free, from what I've known?

Or am I destined to die alone?

This misery, it used to keep me warm,

Now it's the eye of my own growing storm.

(Outro)

My own storm... slowly... breaking...

Or am I mistaken?

Misery's grip... starting to slip...

A single breath... a final trip...

Out of the dark... into the...

Unknown... alone... not alone...
