desperate soul

Shadows crawl across the ceiling, whispering my name

Every breath feels like a storm I cannot outrun or tame

Walls are closing in, they bend, they breathe, they stare

I swear I’m not alone, but there’s nobody there

Voices in the static, scratching at my mind

Telling me I’m broken, telling me I’m blind

Footsteps in the hallway, but the door is locked tight

Something’s in the darkness, watching every night

My chest is caving in, I can’t slow it down

Heartbeat like a siren, gonna make me drown

Sweat turns cold as ice, hands begin to shake

Every second stretching like I’m about to break

I see faces in the mirror that don’t belong to me

Eyes that follow every move, but I can’t make them leave

Every flicker of the light turns monsters into truth

Every corner hides a fear I can’t dispute

I’m pacing in a circle, trapped inside my head

Every thought’s a blade, every memory’s dead

Clawing at the silence, but it screams right back

Pulling me deeper into endless black

The air is getting thinner, can’t catch a breath

Feels like I’m dancing on the edge of death

Mind keeps racing, no escape in sight

Day feels just as heavy as the night

If I scream, will it stop, or just echo loud?

If I fall, will I vanish in the crowd?

Or am I stuck forever in this twisted view

Where the worst things I imagine all come true

Shadows crawl closer, they’re under my skin

Every fight I start is a fight I can’t win

Gloom wraps tight like a lover’s embrace

And I’m lost in the dark I can’t replace

I’m still here, but I’m fading away

Piece by piece, day by day

Trapped in a storm I can’t outrun

Gloom and doom till I come undone.
