The Test of Life

[Intro]
Can you feel the tension rising?
Questions hanging in the air
Where do we draw the line?
When do we become bare
[Verse 1]
Pushing to the edge, how much can we take?
Broken pieces scattered, hopes start to shake
Lessons learned the hard way, questions in the dark
Expectations soaring, leaving behind a mark
[Pre-Chorus]
Why do we hold on tight, to dreams that fade away?
Living in the shadows, lost in disarray
Responsibility weighing heavy, falling without a sound
Can we find a way out, or are we bound?
[Chorus]
Life's just a test, a road we must traverse
Lessons in disguise, blessings or curses
Expectations rise, never coming down
Trying to stay afloat while breaking on the ground
[Bridge]
No respect in dreams deferred, only tribulation
Living with the burden of others' expectation
Can we survive this game, or are we doomed?
Searching for meaning, trying to break the gloom
[Outro]
Maybe I was right, maybe this is all a fight
A test of strength, of will, to find the light
When the world pushes hard, we stand and endure
In the end, it’s all just a trial we’re made for
[Intro]
Silent echo in the crowded room,
Watching shadows fill the hollow gloom.
Is it luck or just my face?
Lost inside this crowded space.
[Verse 1]
They don't know my name, just a face in the crowd,
Feeding on the sparks, never speaking loud.
Wireless connections, yet so disconnected,
Hiding all my truths, feeling so rejected.
[Pre-Chorus]
Am I just a ghost in their busy lives?
Or a secret behind these tired eyes?
Do they see the me I try to hide?
Or just the mask I wear with pride?
[Chorus]
Have I become important on accident?
Or do they gravitate because of who I am?
Either way, they leave with something to hold,
While I am alone, left cold.
[Bridge]
Try being me for just one day,
See the world through my lonely way.
No nurturer to tell me I’m enough,
Just silent nights and quiet stuff.
[Outro]
So here I stand, invisible yet present,
Hoping someday I'll feel consistent.
In this silent, lonely fight,
Looking for a shining light.
