orbit

The moon hangs low in the velvet sky I walk this road and I don’t know why Every step feels heavier than the last Chasing echoes of a broken past The trees whisper secrets I’ll never know Their shadows stretch where I dare not go A fleeting warmth slips through my hand Like trying to hold onto sinking sand Falling through shadows I can’t escape Lost in the corners of my own shape The silence screams louder than any sound I’m searching for something that can't be found The wind carries voices I used to hear Familiar faces blurred by the smear A fragile tether pulling me apart A tangled mess inside my heart Stars burn cold and the night won’t end The weight of the dark refuses to bend The world spins on but I stand still A prisoner to my own will Falling through shadows I can’t escape Lost in the corners of my own shape The silence screams louder than any sound I’m searching for something that can't be found
