Shadows in the Mind

In the shadows where I hide, under a fractured sky

Your words cut deep, but I won't die

He was right up in my face, a stranger in my mind

Throwing names like broken glass, trying to leave me blind

Memories fade, but the echoes still remain

A game of chaos, I’m the master of this pain

I'm a philosopher, fighting through the noise

No one can break me, I’m the void and the voice

You think you know me, but I wear a disguise

Follow the darkness, ‘cause I’m the rise

You don’t understand my game, I hide my pain inside

I’m chosen in the shadows, in the darkness I confide

If you try to hold me down, I’ll play it harder still

This is my world, my mind, my will

Words erased, but scars remain, in the depths of my mind

People try to break me, but I remain confined

A philosopher’s curse, a silent scream inside

In this game of shadows, I will rise and hide

I'm a philosopher, fighting through the noise

No one can break me, I’m the void and the voice

You think you know me, but I wear a disguise

Follow the darkness, ‘cause I’m the rise

You don’t understand my game, I hide my pain inside

I’m chosen in the shadows, in the darkness I confide

If you try to hold me down, I’ll play it harder still

This is my world, my mind, my will

Life’s a battle, but I refuse to fall

In the depths of darkness, I hear my call

Break my silence, see the real me now

In the shadows, I will bow

Follow me or face the end, the choice is yours

In this darkened mind, I open doors

A philosopher’s soul, unbroken, free

In the shadows, I’m finally me
