My mind asylum

(Verse 1)

I can feel it slowly weighing on me,

my soul goes quiet with each new breath.

I see my future stretched before me,

but I’m trapped in my mind’s asylum—

haunted by a past I can’t let go,

addicted to the pain,

stuck in the sorrow of tomorrow.

(Pre-Chorus)

The path behind me whispers

inside my memories—

a step backward into myself,

a place I thought I’d left behind.

(Chorus)

How do you move when the world won’t wait,

when every step forward feels too late?

I keep reaching through static skies,

through echoes of who I used to be.

And maybe it’s not about escaping the past,

but learning to walk with my shadows beside me.

(Bridge)

I’m learning to forgive the silence,

to let the dust fall where it may.

If I can hold the quiet long enough,

tomorrow will hear my name.

(verse 2)

I’m learning to unlace the person I’ve been,

to face the one I’m scared to be.

I sit with versions I abandoned,

asking who was broken — them or me?

Parts I buried under silence—

I lift them from the dark,

teaching my heart to hold them gently now.

Pre-Chorus 2 (Polished)

The halls I’ve walked still whisper,

voices I almost left behind.

A step forward into myself,

into the place I’m learning to call mine.

Chorus

How do you move when the world won’t wait,

when every step forward feels too late?

I keep reaching through static skies,

through echoes of who I used to be.

And maybe it’s not about escaping the past,

but learning to walk with my shadows beside me.

Outro (Polished)

I fold the silence around me,

let the dust of old regrets fall.

Every fragment I once feared

becomes a thread in who I am.

And when tomorrow calls my name,

I’ll answer with all of me.
