Frustrated In Darkness

[Intro – Instrumental] [Verse 1] I feel the pressure rising, closing in around my head These quiet battles haunt me in the places I’ve bled I keep pretending I’m fine but the cracks begin to show Every step feels heavier the further that I go [Verse 2] I walk a crooked line that keeps slipping underneath My pulse is running wild like there’s poison in my teeth I brace against the noise but it shakes me to the core I’m tired of losing pieces I can’t recognize anymore [Pre-Drop 1] Pressure rising in my chest Can’t pretend I’m feeling blessed [Drop – Instrumental] [Hook] I’m frustrated in darkness!, I feel broken down! I’m holding on to something that won’t come around! I’m trying not to fall as the walls pull me down! I’m frustrated in darkness!, I feel broken down! I’m sinking into thoughts that refuse to calm down! I’m trying to stay steady while I’m losing the ground! [Verse 3] My heartbeat’s getting louder as the silence eats the room The shadows crowd my footsteps like they’re waiting for my doom I stretch for any lifeline but they slip right through my hands Maybe I’m just fading deeper than I understand [Verse 4] The mirror keeps reflecting all the pain I try to mask I’m running out of strength for every unspoken task I keep the world from seeing how I’m breaking underneath But these fractures in my chest still steal away my breath and peace [Pre-Drop 2] I’m tangled up in what I fear Wishing someone else could hear [Drop – Instrumental] [Verse 5] I’m walking through the memories that cut like sharpened wire Trying to find a spark to pull me from this inner fire The weight of expectation drags me closer to the floor I push against the current but it pulls me even more [Break] The quiet shakes me harder than the shouting ever could I’d climb above the damage if I somehow understood Why I keep falling backwards every time I try to stand Why the storms inside my ribcage never go the way I planned [Drop – Instrumental] [Hook] I’m frustrated in darkness!, I feel broken down! I’m holding on to something that won’t come around! I’m trying not to fall as the walls pull me down! I’m frustrated in darkness!, I feel broken down! I’m sinking into thoughts that refuse to calm down! I’m trying to stay steady while I’m losing the ground! [Bridge] I’m fighting through the chaos that’s been living in my bones These thoughts that claw inside me never leave me alone I reach for understanding but it slips into the night Still I keep on pushing forward hoping someday I’ll get it right [Final Hook] I’m frustrated in darkness!, I feel broken down! I’m holding on to something that won’t come around! I’m trying not to fall as the walls pull me down! I’m frustrated in darkness!, I feel broken down! I’m sinking into thoughts that refuse to calm down! I’m trying to stay steady while I’m losing the ground! [Outro – Instrumental]
