Paranoia

Intro:
*(Spoken, echoing whispers)*
In the silence, they creep…
Footsteps behind me, shadows in the deep.
Mind ablaze, where no light can shine,
Every breath feels like a warning sign.
Verse 1:
I walk this road, haunted by their gaze,
Invisible chains bind me in a haze.
Fingers trace my skin in the dark,
Echoes of their laughter, leave a mark.
Walls are closing in, the whispers grow near,
Paranoia’s grip is crushing, feeding fear.
I turn, I see nothing, but I feel their breath,
Choking on my sanity, flirting with death.
Chorus:
Paranoia, my relentless disease,
Cold hands clutch my heart, never let me breathe.
Every shadow’s a specter, every voice a lie,
Can’t escape this nightmare, no matter how I try.
Drowning in the echoes, lost in my soul,
Paranoia, you're the anchor, dragging me whole.
Verse 2:
In mirrors, I find a warped reflection,
Eyes that scream of hate, a twisted connection.
The world outside is painted in dread,
Tangled in a web, I’m wishing I was dead.
They’re watching, they’re judging, can’t escape this cage,
Silent screams are piercing, I’m filled with rage.
Thoughts like thunder, crashing in my mind,
A storm of delusion, what truth can I find?
Chorus:
Paranoia, my relentless disease,
Cold hands clutch my heart, never let me breathe.
Every shadow’s a specter, every voice a lie,
Can’t escape this nightmare, no matter how I try.
Drowning in the echoes, lost in my soul,
Paranoia, you're the anchor, dragging me whole.
Bridge:
*(Slow, heavy)*
Voices clawing at the edges of the night,
Each one a dagger, cutting through the light.
Whispers weave a tapestry of despair,
In this game of madness, I’m stripped and bare.
No refuge from the storm—just a heartless fight,
In the theater of paranoia, I am the fright.
Verse 3:
I'm a puppet dancing on strings of fear,
Every laugh a dagger, every smile a sneer.
The world is a gallery of faces in disguise,
Painted with malice, lying with their eyes.
I scream at the shadows, but they only mock,
A prisoner of my thoughts, my sanity's clock.
As darkness swallows hope, there’s no place to hide,
Lost in this catacomb, nowhere left to slide.
Chorus (x2):
Paranoia, my relentless disease,
Cold hands clutch my heart, never let me breathe.
Every shadow’s a specter, every voice a lie,
Can’t escape this nightmare, no matter how I try.
Drowning in the echoes, lost in my soul,
Paranoia, you're the anchor, dragging me whole
