Two Men Tall

Shadows whisper, snakes in my ear,

Every thought cut sharp, a souvenir.

Chris tryna swim but the waves ain't clear,

Drowning in a sea made of my own fear.

Talking to myself like I’m two men tall,

But the mirror cracks back, it don’t answer the call.

The clock keeps ticking but the hands won't move,

I'm stuck inside this hollow room.

Whispers echo through the walls,

Chris can't answer when the darkness calls.

Drowning in the shadows, lost in the tide,

No one can reach him, no matter how they try.

Friends knocking loud, "Chris, you home?"

The waves are crashing over his head,

He's screaming for help but it's left unsaid.

The weight is heavier than stones,

It's dragging him down to the unknown.

Every smile is just a lie,

The light inside has said goodbye.

Drowning in the shadows, lost in the tide,

No one can reach him, no matter how they try.

Friends knocking loud, "Chris, you home?"

The waves are crashing over his head,

He's screaming for help but it's left unsaid.

How many times I gotta fight myself?

Put the voices on trial, they indict myself.

Locked in a cell, key on a high shelf,

Is this life or a loop where I write myself?

Drowning in the shadows, lost in the tide,

No one can reach him, no matter how they try.

Friends knocking loud, "Chris, you home?"

The waves are crashing over his head,

He's screaming for help but it's left unsaid.

He screamed, but no one heard the sound,

A forest of silence, no one around.

Shadows creeping in, swallowing the light.

No texts sent, no calls made to reply,

Just a heavy sigh, a final goodbye.
