I don’t know why I stayed here, In the dark with all these fears, Every shadow whispers something underground. All this anger pulling tightly, All these memories grip me violently, Like a broken lullaby that keeps me bound. Am I running from the truth? Or chasing ghosts I never knew? Every step is just another trap beneath me… But if I turn around again, Will I still be me in the end? I feel the strings already creeping in so slowly… It’s been too long— Since I last heard your voice call out my name in the silence, Now the echoes pull me farther. Since you’ve been gone— I’ve been singing this twisted song just to remember, Who I was before the monsters. Wish I lived inside the daylight, Not this never-ending stage fright, Where the ticking of the clock feels like a threat. Every distant laugh reminds me Of a life you left behind me— And the guilt becomes a chain I can’t forget. Is redemption even real? Or another lie I feel? Every answer just becomes a darker question… Still I follow every sign, Praying someday you’ll be mine, Even if I lose myself in this obsession… It’s been too long— Since I last heard your voice call out my name in the silence, Now the echoes pull me farther. Since you’ve been gone— I’ve been singing this twisted song just to remember, Who I was before the monsters. And the nights keep getting colder, As the shadows growing bolder Wrap around the pieces of my heart… If I fail, will you forgive me? If I fall, will someone lift me? Or will this story tear me all apart? It’s been too long— But I’m still walking through the dark to find the answer, Even if the truth is somber. Since you’ve been gone— I’ll keep singing through the pain until I conquer Every ghost that tries to wander… **’Cause it’s been too long.**
