Intro (ambient whispers)
Lost in the shadows…
No way out…
I feel it under my skin…
Verse 1 (low growls)
Lost in the shadows, I’m hunting for a way
Crushed by the weight of every single day
Say that I’m fine but it’s all decay
Rotting inside as I fade away
Dead in my eyes when I look in the glass
Haunted by everything buried in my past
Clawing for air but it never will last
Time keeps slipping, it’s moving too fast
Trapped in a grave that I dug on my own
Carved out of doubt, now I’m stuck in the stone
Every regret like a weight in my bones
I scream to the void but I’m always alone
Pre-Chorus (clean / strained)
If I could feel love, would it heal the pain?
Or wash me away in the endless rain?
I fight these demons, they know my name
No matter what, they remain
Chorus (high screams + melody)
I WANNA FLY AWAY — ESCAPE MY MIND
SEARCHING FOR PEACE BUT IT’S HARD TO FIND
RUN FROM THE SCARS THAT I LEFT BEHIND
PRAYING THAT ONE DAY I’LL BE ALRIGHT
I WANNA BREAK THESE CHAINS INSIDE
TEAR THROUGH THE DARK WHERE MY FEARS ALL HIDE
HOLDING ON WHILE MY HOPE ALL DIES
BUT I WON’T FADE — I WON’T SAY GOODBYE
Verse 2 (fast, aggressive)
Knots in my chest, yeah, I tighten the noose
Every thought another excuse
Voices are screaming, I can’t refuse
A war in my head that I always lose
Sober but numb and it still cuts deep
Secrets and scars that I’ll always keep
Rain keeps falling, I drown in my sleep
Promises made that I couldn’t keep
Future is fading into the gray
Reaching for something that slips away
Hope is a lie but I choose to stay
Fighting a battle I can’t outrun
Breakdown (slow, crushing)
NOWHERE TO RUN
NOWHERE TO GO
FACE IN THE DIRT
BLOOD RUNS COLD
YOU BUILT THIS CAGE
YOU DIG THIS HOLE
BURIED ALIVE
INSIDE YOUR SOUL
Bridge (clean, haunting)
Hope is a whisper I barely hear
Fading away but it lingers near
Calling me out through all of the fear
Telling me somehow I’m still here
If I could break through into the light
Maybe I’d finally end this fight
Maybe the dark would lose its bite
Maybe I’d finally feel alive
Final Chorus (full intensity)
I WANNA FLY AWAY — TEAR THROUGH THE SKY
SICK OF THE TRUTH AND SICK OF THE LIES
RUN FROM THE PAST THAT I CAN’T DENY
SCREAMING FOR SOMETHING TO KEEP ME ALIVE
I WANNA BREAK AWAY FROM THIS PAIN
WASHED IN THE BLOOD OF THE FALLING RAIN
HOLDING ON TIGHT BUT IT’S ALL IN VAIN
YET I RISE… AGAIN AND AGAIN
Outro (ambient fade)
Lost in the shadows…
Still breathing…
Still fighting…
I’ll be alright…
