[Strong Clean vocals]
The silence used to be a comfort, a sweet and solemn friend.
But lately, the walls are closing, and the quiet has to end.
A whisper started as a ripple, now it’s crashing through my sleep
A cruel, relentless clamor of promises they keep.
They promise doubt, they promise failure, they promise endless plight
And every dark suggestion feels a little too bright.
[Strong Clean Vocals]
I try to hold the line, I try to grip the truth
But the noise inside is stealing back my youth.
It's a rising tide of malice, and I'm losing solid ground.
They are getting loud. They are getting hard to drown.
[Strong Clean Vocals]
When I stare into the mirror, I don't see my own face.
It’s a stranger with cold eyes who holds my vacant space.
My reflection is the legion, the shadow of my soul.
I cannot recognize this being taking back control.
A prison built from whispers, a mind I can't outrun,
Trapped inside this fortress that I've become.
[Strong Clean Vocals]
The world outside is just a theatre, and everyone’s a ghost.
How can I trust the hands that reach out when they hurt the most?
The voices tell me everyone is wearing a disguise,
That the warmth you offer is a lie reflected in your eyes.
So I retreat into the darkness, a voluntary exile,
Because separating friend from foe takes too much fight and trial.
[Strong Clean Vocals]
I try to hold the line, I try to grip the truth
But the noise inside is stealing back my youth.
It's a rising tide of malice, and I'm losing solid ground.
They are getting loud. They are getting hard to drown.

When I stare into the mirror, I don't see my own face.
It’s a stranger with cold eyes who holds my vacant space.
My reflection is the legion, the shadow of my soul.
I cannot recognize this being taking back control.
A prison built from whispers, a mind I can't outrun,
Trapped inside this fortress that I've become.

Is there an exit from this chamber, a light to pierce the grey?
Every path I try to follow, they tell me to just stay.
These thoughts are not my own, yet they flow right through my veins.
I'm a captive in the structure where only madness reigns.
A puppet on a lonely string, manipulated, fooled—
Inside my own creation, I am hopelessly overruled.

When I stare into the mirror, I don't see my own face.
It’s a stranger with cold eyes who holds my vacant space.
My reflection is the legion, the shadow of my soul.
I cannot recognize this being taking back control.
A prison built from whispers, a mind I can't outrun,
Trapped inside this fortress that I've become.
[clean vocals]
Trapped inside my mind...
They’re getting loud…
