In the shadows where I linger,
Whispers echo, pulling me under,
Every smile feels like a stranger,
Lost in thoughts, a heart full of thunder.
I wear my mask, but it’s cracking,
The weight of silence, it’s attacking,
Every promise feels like a lie,
I tell myself I’ll be alright.
But I’m fading, fading,
Into the night, I’m escaping,
These memories haunt like a ghost,
In this empty room, I feel the most.
I’ll pretend that I’m fine,
But the truth is a heavy line,
In the dark, I’m still waiting,
For a light that feels like fading.
Every heartbeat feels like a burden,
Chasing shadows, I’m still uncertain,
The world outside keeps on turning,
While I’m trapped in this endless yearning.
I wear my mask, but it’s cracking,
The weight of silence, it’s attacking,
Every promise feels like a lie,
I tell myself I’ll be alright.
But I’m fading, fading,
Into the night, I’m escaping,
These memories haunt like a ghost,
In this empty room, I feel the most.
I’ll pretend that I’m fine,
But the truth is a heavy line,
In the dark, I’m still waiting,
For a light that feels like fading.
And if the stars refuse to shine,
I’ll drown in thoughts that aren’t mine,
Every tear, a silent scream,
In this life, I’m losing steam.
But I’m fading, fading,
Into the night, I’m escaping,
These memories haunt like a ghost,
In this empty room, I feel the most.
I’ll pretend that I’m fine,
But the truth is a heavy line,
In the dark, I’m still waiting,
For a light that feels like fading.
So here I stand, on the edge of despair,
With a heart that’s heavy, and no one to care,
I’ll whisper softly, as the shadows align,
In this quiet battle, I’ll pretend I’m fine.
