Reflections in Solitude

[Intro]
In the quiet of my mind, 
Where shadows dance and light is blind.  
Thoughts laid out like pages flipped,  
Searching for the words, I slipped.

[Verse 1]
Alone, I did my best thinking,  
Laid out all the thoughts like a book, skimming,  
Scanned the letters, found the truth,  
What weighs more, every tear, every proof.

[Pre-Chorus]
A white empty sheet before me spread,  
Words unspoken, hearts misled.  
Hands clasped tight, no pen in sight,  
With a heavy heart, I hide from the light.

[Chorus]
Got out to relax, but the mind won't clear,  
Staring at ceilings, whispering fears.  
Oh, the silence can be cruel,  
Yet in solitude, I find my fuel.

[Verse 2]
I bottle mostly my thoughts, I keep,  
Ruling my concerns in the deep.  
Battling shadows, fighting the night,  
But in this alone, I feel the light.

[Pre-Chorus]
Solitude, a friend I meet,  
In my thoughts, I find my beat.  
Time is fleeting, oh it runs so fast,  
Longing so deeply for moments that last.

[Chorus]
Got out to relax, but the mind won't clear,  
Staring at ceilings, whispering fears.  
Oh, the silence can be cruel,  
Yet in solitude, I find my fuel.

[Bridge]
Steps may falter, paths unsure,  
Plans go drifting, I want to endure.  
Looking back to find my way,  
Wishing I’d known, come what may.

[Chorus]
Got out to relax, but the mind won't clear,  
Staring at ceilings, whispering fears.  
Oh, the silence can be cruel,  
Yet in solitude, I find my fuel.

[Outro]
So here I sit with my heavy heart,  
In the silence, I’ll play my part.  
Alone, I gather strength to be,  
In my thoughts, I finally feel free.
