Lost In My Own Mind

[Verse 1]
Voices like a thousand banners
Tearing through my fragile skull
Every thought a sharpened standard
Driving deeper
Never dull
Walls are made of burning pages
Every door just loops me back
Clock hands carving iron cages
On a sky of endless black
[Pre-Chorus]
Is there a star beyond this ceiling?
Is there a hand to cut these chains? (hey!)
I hear my heartbeat turn to thunder
But still the darkness knows my name
[Chorus]
Lost in my own mind
There is no escape
Running in circles through the fire I made
Screaming at ghosts that all carry my face
Lost in my own mind
There is no escape
I forge my prison with the doubts I chase
I am the warden of this cursed place
[Verse 2]
Hallways full of broken mirrors
Every shard a different life
One where I was brave and fearless
One where I survived the night
Shadows wearing saintly halos
Offer crowns of rust and bone
Every promise tastes like haloed
Poison dressed in gilded stone
[Pre-Chorus]
Is there a sword beyond this terror?
A word to break the bloodstained spell? (woah)
My spirit rattles in the armor
Of a fallen angel dragged through hell
[Chorus]
Lost in my own mind
There is no escape
Running in circles through the fire I made
Screaming at ghosts that all carry my face
Lost in my own mind
There is no escape
I forge my prison with the doubts I chase
I am the warden of this cursed place
[Bridge]
I raise my hands
But the sky stays closed
I bare my throat
To an unseen foe
If I am the cage
Then I am the key
Tear out the chains
From inside of me (inside of me)
[Chorus]
Lost in my own mind
There is no escape
Running in circles through the fire I made
Screaming at ghosts that all carry my face
Lost in my own mind
There is no escape
But through the ashes of the walls I break
I ride the nightmare till the nightmare shakes

metal, Symphonic power metal with galloping double-kicks, choirs, and towering male vocals. Guitars race in harmonized leads, orchestral strings and brass swell under a soaring, melodic chorus. Verses stay tense and riff-driven, pre-chorus climbs in harmony, and the bridge hits a half-time, choir-backed breakdown before a final key-lift chorus., power metal
