[Verse 1]
Creak in the floorboards, shadows that stretch,
Breath so tight, feels like a net.
Clock ticks loud, mocking the quiet,
Heart in a riot, thoughts on a diet.
Eyelids heavy, but I’m wide awake,
Mind runs laps, no foot on the brake.
Hollow nights with a hollow stare,
Scared of the end, but I’m already there.
[Prechorus]
Time's a thief, whispers my name,
Ashes and echoes, it’s all the same.
[Chorus]
When shadows whisper, I can’t breathe,
Death’s a thief, it hides beneath.
It’s scary, yeah, I won’t lie,
But I still fight, I don’t say goodbye.
[Verse 2]
Black robe swinging, scythe on the prowl,
Death’s in the corner, I feel the howl.
No roses, no violins, just the void,
Life’s a toy that time destroyed.
Gasping for meaning, drowning in air,
The unknown’s cruel, but I’m still there.
Mirror cracks, reflections scatter,
Fear’s a ladder, climbing the chatter.
