My mind asylum

(Verse 1)

I can feel it slowly weighing on me,

my soul goes quiet with each new breath.

I see my future stretched before me,

but I’m trapped in my mind’s asylum—

haunted by a past I can’t let go,

addicted to the pain,

stuck in the sorrow of tomorrow.

(Pre-Chorus)

The path behind me whispers

inside my memories—

a step backward into myself,

a place I thought I’d left behind.

(Chorus)

How do you move when the world won’t wait,

when every step forward feels too late?

I keep reaching through static skies,

through echoes of who I used to be.

And maybe it’s not about escaping the past,

but learning to walk with my shadows beside me.

(Bridge)

I’m learning to forgive the silence,

to let the dust fall where it may.

If I can hold the quiet long enough,

tomorrow will hear my name.
