Verge of Collapse

[Intro]
Drifting in the haze, lost in a labyrinth of thought,
Every step I take feels like a battle fought.
The echoes call my name, but the voices fade away,
Will I ever see the dawn, or am I trapped in endless gray?

[Chorus]
In the depths of my mind, a weight is suspended,
A prisoner of my own thoughts, I’m begging to be mended.
I’m trying to break free from the chains that bind,
But the harder I fight, the more I lose my mind.
The pressure’s mounting, I’m on the verge of collapse,
Will I find my way out, or vanish into the gaps?

[Verse 1]
I’m a shadow of the self I thought I’d known,
Fighting battles in a war that I wage alone.
The mirror shows a face, but the eyes don’t meet my own,
Is this my true reflection, or someone overthrown?

The whispers grow louder, they’re clawing at my brain,
Every fleeting moment soaked in unrelenting pain.
I’m searching for a compass, but my map is torn apart,
Trying to stitch the fragments of a broken heart.

[Chorus]
In the depths of my mind, a weight is suspended,
A prisoner of my own thoughts, I’m begging to be mended.
I’m trying to break free from the chains that bind,
But the harder I fight, the more I lose my mind.
The pressure’s mounting, I’m on the verge of collapse,
Will I find my way out, or vanish into the gaps?

[Verse 2]
I scream into the void, but silence answers back,
A deafening reminder of the courage that I lack.
The walls are closing in, my breath is running thin,
The war inside my head is a fight I cannot win.

Still, I hold on to a thread, though it frays with every tear,
Hoping for a lifeline, a spark to show someone’s there.
I build castles in the sand, though the waves erase their form,
Desperate for shelter in the eye of this storm.

[Bridge]
I’m a flame flickering against a tempest's roar,
A heartbeat in the silence, pounding at the door.
I’m the song of the broken, a melody of despair,
But somewhere in the distance, I can feel the morning air.

I’m a wanderer, a seeker, a soul that won’t concede,
Even in the darkness, I carry this fragile seed.
I’m a dreamer, a believer, though I stumble through the night,
I’ll find my footing one day, guided by the light.

[Chorus]
In the depths of my mind, a weight is suspended,
A prisoner of my own thoughts, I’m begging to be mended.
I’m trying to break free from the chains that bind,
But the harder I fight, the more I lose my mind.
The pressure’s mounting, I’m on the verge of collapse,
Will I find my way out, or vanish into the gaps?

[Outro]
You can’t see the weight I’m carrying, but it’s there,
A burden I’ve borne, though it’s too much to bear.
The shadows whisper secrets that I can’t ignore,
But I’ll keep moving forward, searching for the door.

For every step I falter, I’ll take two more ahead,
Because even in the darkness, hope isn’t dead.
I’m a soul still burning, though the fire dims and wanes,
And one day, I’ll rise above these chains.
