Reality slips away

[Intro] [Verse 1] Windblown dust settles, blocking my way Echoes of memory, like an endless rain Sifting through reality, where mirages shine I chase the scattered fragments of shattered dreams [Chorus] Reality slips away, like sand through my fingers Grains of truth scatter, on shifting sands The tighter I hold, the less I can grasp Truth is only a shadow, dancing in the wind [Verse 2] The cold moon ignores my roar, my crawling despair Reality whispers, or binds me in silence I walk the tightrope between chaos and reason Searching for meaning, in time’s cruel conclusion [Chorus] Reality slips away, like sand through my fingers Grains of truth scatter, on shifting sands The tighter I hold, the less I can grasp Truth is only a shadow, dancing in the wind [Bridge] With a single blink, the world turns inside out A gray labyrinth, yesterday’s echoes as distant as five lifetimes Reaching out, but clarity remains blurred Forever sifting through, the whispers of sincerity [Instrumental Break] (Guitar solo — Epic, emotional, melodic, echoing the vocal motif) [Chorus] Reality slips away, like sand through my fingers Grains of truth scatter, on shifting sands The tighter I hold, the less I can grasp Truth is only a shadow, dancing in the wind
