[Verse]
Ripping through the foggy haze
Memories like shattered glass
Echoes of the younger days
Saw the world through a cracked lens
[Verse 2]
Life a twisted masquerade
Fractured thoughts replay again
Older now but still afraid
Trapped inside this shadowed pen
[Chorus]
Perception shifts the ground beneath
Reality a shifting sea
Wisdom brings a bitter sheath
Growing colder can't break free
[Verse 3]
Faces fade to paint streaks gray
Gone are those who lit the way
Numbing comfort slow decay
Hardened heart begins to fray
[Bridge]
Inner demons rise from sleep
Past mistakes cut way too deep
Fighting phantoms can't defeat
Aching soul can't find its peace
[Chorus]
Perception shifts the ground beneath
Reality a shifting sea
Wisdom brings a bitter sheath
Growing colder can't break free
