[Intro]
Whispers in the shadows pull me under slow,
The light above is fading, nowhere left to go.
I reach for something solid, but it slips away,
Lost in endless night, forgetting how to pray.
[Verse 1]
They promise brighter days, but the clouds never part,
I'm chasing faded echoes of a beating heart.
Doors that once were open now are locked and chained,
Every path I follow leaves me more restrained.
Pockets full of nothing, bills stacking like stones,
Dreams I used to nurture now are just old bones.
I push against the current, but it drags me down,
Waves of disappointment where I almost drown.
[Chorus]
I'm fading into silence, buried in the cold,
Every spark I kindle dies before it's bold.
Nothing left to cling to, just the ache inside,
So I shatter into pieces, with no place to hide.
Can't rebuild the ruins, can't escape the storm,
I'm a ghost in the mirror, twisted and deformed.
[Verse 2]
I'm the shadow in the corner that no one wants to face,
A tale of broken promises in a forgotten place.
Plans I sketched in starlight crumble into dust,
Every leap of faith ends in betrayal's rust.
I flash a hollow grin to keep the questions at bay,
But underneath the surface, I'm fraying day by day.
Exhausted from the battles that I fight alone,
Trapped in raging tempests, far from any home.
[Chorus]
I'm fading into silence, buried in the cold,
Every spark I kindle dies before it's bold.
Nothing left to cling to, just the ache inside,
So I shatter into pieces, with no place to hide.
Can't rebuild the ruins, can't escape the storm,
I'm a ghost in the mirror, twisted and deformed.
[Bridge]
I howl into the void, but it swallows every sound,
Echoes of my regrets come circling around.
Vows I swore in fire now are ashes in the wind,
Debts of hope unpaid, where do I begin?
The fissures in my soul grow deeper with each breath,
A map of all the losses leading straight to death.
The more I claw for freedom, the tighter chains constrict,
Till I'm nothing but a whisper, conflicted and derelict.
[Chorus]
I'm fading into silence, buried in the cold,
Every spark I kindle dies before it's bold.
Nothing left to cling to, just the ache inside,
So I shatter into pieces, with no place to hide.
Can't rebuild the ruins, can't escape the storm,
I'm a ghost in the mirror, twisted and deformed.
[Outro]
I'll linger in the emptiness, unseen and unheard,
The fragments of my story, forever blurred.
If dawn should ever break, I'll meet it with closed eyes
Just a fading silhouette under empty skies.
