Echoes in the Quiet

(Verse 1)

Cracked mirror stares back, a stranger's weary eyes,

Another dawn arrives, but hope just slowly dies.

The questions in my head, a storm that won't abate,

Is there a single answer, or just a twist of fate?

(Chorus)

Tell me, is it worth the fight, when shadows never cease?

To chase a fading light, and never find release?

I'm running out of reasons, my spirit starts to bend,

Will this journey ever have an end?

(Verse 2)

I built my walls so high, a fortress of despair,

Protecting a fragile heart, that no one seems to care.

Each act of love returned with emptiness and scorn,

Leaving me abandoned, wishing I'd never been born.

(Chorus)

Tell me, is it worth the fight, when shadows never cease?

To chase a fading light, and never find release?

I'm running out of reasons, my spirit starts to bend,

Will this journey ever have an end?

(Verse 3)

I search for solace now, a place to hide away,

Where burdens disappear and skies are always gray.

If nobody needs my love, why should I give it still?

In this desolate existence, my purpose stands so still.

(Outro)

They say the scars will fade, the pain will lose its sting,

But what if all that's left is just an empty thing?

I long to find that smile, to break these heavy chains,

But the echoes in the quiet still remain.
