Slowly

[Verse 1] I will stop my thinking, Try to shut off my brain. Life has gotten heavy— More than I can contain. Felt this feeling far too long, Everything just feels so wrong. Friends and family, they've moved on, Still not sure where I belong. Days turn into chaotic weeks, I'm afraid I’m turning into a freak. [Pre-Chorus] I feel the darkness rising, From deep inside of me. It's way too much to hold in— I’ve learned to love the pain I see. [Chorus] Slowly, oh so slowly, I begin to lose myself. Let go of all I once believed in. Slowly, oh so slowly, I start to fade, Becoming someone more deranged. [Verse 2] Everyone is breaking down, I can barely hear the sound Of reason through this crowded storm— Nothing ever feels quite warm. It hurts to know I’ve lost control Of this spinning, burning world. My worst fears have come to life, I froze, unsure of how to fight. [Pre-Chorus] I feel the darkness rising, From deep inside of me. It’s far too much to carry— But somehow I let it be. [Chorus] Slowly, oh so slowly, I begin to lose myself. Let go of all I once believed in. Slowly, oh so slowly, I start to change, Into someone more insane. [Bridge] Numbers spinning in my head, Shadows dance with fear and dread. Vibrant colors fade to grey, Hope just washes out each day. Thought I finally found my way— But it was all a twisted joke. Now I’m drowning in the silence, And I’ve lost all my hope. [Final Chorus] Slowly, oh so slowly, I'm slipping through the cracks. Can't take back all that I’ve broken. Slowly, oh so slowly, My truth is stained— In a world that feels deranged. [Outro] But in the silence, I still breathe, A broken heart that tries to beat. I don’t know who I’ll be tomorrow— Just living through the pain and sorrow. One more step into the unknown, Even though I feel alone. If I’m fading, let it show— At least I’ll face the fall I know.
