Fading Away

The city goes quiet

Red in the sky

I keep moving forward

But I’m losing my life

Black stairwell, flickering light

Every step don’t feel right

Elevator hums like a throat

Swallowing every word I wrote

Numbers melting off the doors

Spelling things I can’t ignore

Someone whispering my name

From the walls that sound the same

Every hallway bends and breaks

Every breath I take just aches

My reflection moves too slow

Like it’s something I don’t know

I don’t feel like I belong

Like I’ve been here far too long

If I scream, will it return?

Or just echo till I burn

I forgot where I began

Every step slips through my hands

If I make it out alive…

Will I even recognize—

I’m lost inside myself

In this concrete hell

Shattered mirrors in the dark

Never show me where I fell

(HEY!)

I’m lost inside myself

Hear the voices say

“Don’t you ever come back down”

But I’m fading anyway

If there’s no way out

If I’m trapped somehow

I’ll keep dancing in the dark

Till the lights all burn out

Wires hanging like dead trees

Static crawling under me

Phone numbers scratched in bone

Like a map to nowhere home

Mannequins with hollow eyes

Watching me like I’m alive

Every window shows a lie

Every shadow multiplies

Streetlights buzzing overhead

Like a pulse that’s almost dead

Footsteps matching every move

But I swear I’m not with you

Hands reach out from shattered glass

Pull me deeper as I pass

If I fall, I won’t come back

I’ve been living in the cracks

How many faces did I fake?

How much of me did I erase?

If I make it out alive…

Do I leave this all behind—

I’m lost inside myself

In this concrete hell

Shattered mirrors in the dark

Never show me where I fell

(HEY!)

I’m lost inside myself

Hear the voices say

“Don’t you ever come back down”

But I’m fading anyway

If there’s no way out

If I’m trapped somehow

I’ll keep dancing in the dark

Till the lights all burn out

Step… I break

Breathe… I shake

Scream… but nothing ever changes

Are you chasing me?

Or am I chasing you?

If this is a dream…

Why does it feel so true?

Wake me up

Or pull me under

I can’t tell the difference anymore

I’m lost inside myself

In this concrete hell

Every mirror cracks my name

But it never rings a bell

(HEY!)

I’m lost inside myself

And I can’t escape

Every road just leads me back

To the same decaying place

If there’s no way out

Let it take me now

I’ll keep screaming in the dark

Till I finally drown

The smoke clears out

But I’m still gone

No voice, no trace

To hold onto

If I was real

I don’t recall

Or just a ghost

Inside these walls

I kept walking…

Through the sound…

But I never made it out.
