No Longer at Ease

[Verse]
The clock ticks loud like a hammer on stone
A shadow creeps where light has flown
I chase the echoes of a dream I misplaced
But every step feels like a race
[Chorus]
No longer at ease
No longer at peace
The ground shakes
The winds won't cease
I'm caught in between the now and the past
No longer at ease
How long will it last
[Verse 2]
The mirror shows a face I don't know
Eyes like embers
But the fire won't glow
I build my castles in the sands of doubt
The tide comes in
It all washes out
[Prechorus]
The weight of the world on a fraying thread
Whispers of hope but louder dread
[Chorus]
No longer at ease
No longer at peace
The ground shakes
The winds won't cease
I'm caught in between the now and the past
No longer at ease
How long will it last
[Bridge]
The stars are hiding
The moon looks shy
I ask the heavens
They don't reply
I scream my name to the endless void
A soundless echo
A life destroyed

slow tempo, electric guitars with a haunting synth undercurrent, introspective, moody
