[Verse]
Darkness creeping whispers smother
Hope is fading like no other
Broken dreams and shattered days
Lost in echoes of endless haze
[Verse 2]
Faces haunting memories foul
Lies and deceit a constant prowl
Grasping tendrils pull me down
In this abyss I'll surely drown
[Chorus]
Why do shadows linger long
Cutting deep where I belong
Screaming silence fills the air
Can’t escape from deep despair
[Bridge]
Wandering through a life's demise
No light graces these scarred eyes
Frustration festers like a bruise
In this void I stand to lose
[Verse 3]
Pressure building stifling breath
Trapped inside a living death
Thoughts are poison visions bleak
Strength to fight has grown so weak
[Chorus]
Why do shadows linger long
Cutting deep where I belong
Screaming silence fills the air
Can’t escape from deep despair
