Fading in the Shadows

Echoes in my mind, silent and bare

Fading in the shadows, no one seems to care

Wake up with the weight, another day the same

Lost in the mirror, whispering my name

Drained and empty, feeling out of place

Living in the silence, longing for a trace

Trying so hard, but it’s never enough

Losing myself in all the rough

Thought I’d be someone’s favorite, someone’s light

But I’m just falling through the night

I’m invisible, fading away

Every color stealing the gray

Lost in a world I don’t belong

Singing my lonely song

Every day’s a struggle, every smile a fake

Keeping it together, for goodness’ sake

Realized I’m just backup, never first in line

Hoping someday, my stars will shine

Trying so hard, but it’s never enough

Losing myself in all the rough

Thought I’d be someone’s favorite, someone’s light

But I’m just falling through the night

I’m invisible, fading away

Every color stealing the gray

Lost in a world I don’t belong

Singing my lonely song

Maybe I’m not broken, just misunderstood

Waiting for someone to see the good

In the shadows, I will stand tall

Waiting for the day I break the fall

Echoes fade but I’ll still be here

Fighting through the silent tears

Maybe one day I’ll find my place

Until then, I’ll face this empty space
