(Verse 1)
I'm pushing out of shadows, chasing the glow
Brighter and brighter, I start to know
Almost close enough to touch, to feel, to see
A world beyond the darkness calling me
(Pre-Chorus)
But shadows stretch and reach for me
Clawing closer, I can't break free
The light begins to fade away
Leaving me in shades of gray
(Chorus)
How do I say I’m not okay?
How do I explain these thoughts today?
If no one understands, if they don’t feel
How do I know what’s truly real?
Lost in regret, sorrow, and pain
Slipping further from the sun after rain
(Verse 2)
The distance grows, the silence feels so loud
My mind’s a storm beneath the cloud
Trying to reach out, but words fall apart
Hiding the chaos inside my heart
(Pre-Chorus)
But shadows stretch and reach for me
Clawing closer, I can't break free
The light begins to fade away
Leaving me in shades of gray
(Chorus)
How do I say I’m not okay?
How do I explain these thoughts today?
If no one understands, if they don’t feel
How do I know what’s truly real?
Lost in regret, sorrow, and pain
Slipping further from the sun after rain
(Pre-Chorus)(Powerful long notes)
The light begins to fade away
Leaving me in shades of gray
(Chorus)(Slow down)
How do I say I’m not okay?
How do I explain these thoughts today?
(Speed up) (Powerful)
If no one understands, if they don’t feel
How do I know what’s truly real?
Lost in regret, sorrow, and pain
Slipping further from the sun after rain
(Bridge)(Fast)
Am I alone in this fight?
Lost in the dark
Can anyone see what’s inside
I’m searching for a spark
(Outro)
And maybe someday I’ll understand
That I’m stronger than I’ve ever planned
