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
