[Intro]
Yeah...
Creepin' through the fog...
Everything... drags...
[Verse 1]
Shadows stretch long when the clock won't race,
Days bleed together, same hollow face,
Mirror cracks back with a dead-eyed stare,
Whispers of dreams that dissolved in air.
Used to chase highs, now the low stays glued,
Veins map regrets in a permanent blue,
Friends turned ghosts, numbers deleted slow,
Voices echo back from years ago.
Time's a dull blade, carves without haste,
Leaves you breathing but already waste,
Sippin' on sorrow, cup never drains,
Bottom's a lie that the mind maintains.
[Hook]
Crawling... through the mud of my mind,
Falling... further every time,
Drowning... in the quiet grind,
Slowly... losing what's mine.
[Verse 2]
Memories flicker like busted neon signs,
Buzzing half-lit in the back of my mind,
Promised the world, delivered a cage,
Pages of youth torn out in rage.
Blood on the pavement from battles I lost,
Paying compound on emotional cost,
Love turned to ash in a clenched-up fist,
Kissed goodbye with a razor twist.
Chains of the past rattle louder each night,
Drag me backwards out of the light,
Success was a ghost I could never embrace,
Just empty applause in an empty space.
[Interlude]
"Lost... lost... already gone..."
"Time... heals... nothing..."
[Verse 3]
Sunrise mocks me with counterfeit gold,
Another rotation, stories retold,
Kids I once knew got kids of their own,
While I'm fossilized, chilled to the bone.
Letters unsent pile up in drawers,
Words rot inside like infected sores,
Mama's voice fades on a cracked cassette,
Prayers unanswered, deeper in debt.
The road keeps winding but leads nowhere fast,
Rearview haunted by shadows that last,
Tires spin mud but the wheels don't turn,
Heart keeps beating just to crash and burn.
[Hook]
Crawling... deeper into the black,
Calling... no one answers back,
Stalling... forever off track,
Slowly... fading to black.
[Verse 4]
Regret's a venom that seeps through the seams,
Nightmares on repeat, no pause on the dreams,
Screams trapped silent behind gritted teeth,
Grief's a thief that steals every breath.
Built up a throne out of broken glass shards,
Sat down heavy, now eternally scarred,
Crown weighs tons on a fractured skull,
Soul's a black hole, impossible full.
Words I swallowed corrode from within,
Skin paper-thin over rivers of sin,
Hope was a spark that the rain drowned quick,
Left me shivering, eternally sick.
[Verse 5]
Clock ticks louder when you're all alone,
Counting down grains in a pile of stone,
Legacy's dust on a shelf untouched,
Names forgotten, stories hushed.
Breathe in the rot of another dead end,
No light ahead, no message to send,
Just crawling forward through tar and decay,
Till the dark finally swallows the day.
[Outro]
Slowly... fading... fading...
Gone... gone... already gone...
Beat cuts cold.
