[Intro – Instrumental]

[Verse 1]
I feel the world around me twisting into darker shapes
These quiet thoughts surround me like they’re closing every gate
I try to claw my way into another piece of light
But every time I reach, it slips away into the night

[Verse 2]
I’ve walked through halls of memories that cut me like a chain
I’ve tried to breathe through moments where the truth felt like a stain
I’m running from the whispers that keep dragging at my feet
Still searching for the strength to pull myself back from defeat

[Pre-Drop 1]
The weight is pressing down again
I’m trapped inside where I’ve been

[Drop – Instrumental]

[Hook]
I’m stuck in the shadows, but I won’t fade away
The darkness tries to hold me where I’m meant to decay
My heartbeat keeps on fighting just to see one more day
I’m stuck in the shadows, but I won’t fade away
I’m pulling through the anger that won’t let me obey
I’m climbing out of spaces where I’ve lost my own way

[Verse 3]
I walk a crooked line between the fear and something real
Trying to understand the parts of me I never feel
The echoes of my past keep trying hard to take control
But I still drag myself ahead to salvage what they stole

[Verse 4]
The silence hits me harder when the truth begins to crack
It shows the missing pieces that I’ve never gotten back
I see the broken edges of a soul that’s worn and bruised
But somewhere in the mess, there’s still a part I never lose

[Pre-Drop 2]
I breathe against the rising tide
I won’t let this be where I hide

[Drop – Instrumental]

[Verse 5]
I’ve carried all these burdens like a weight upon my spine
I’ve stumbled through emotions I can’t bury or define
The shadows stretch around me like they’re claiming where I stand
But deep inside the chaos, I can feel a place to land

[Break]
The quiet shakes my chest like it’s a warning from within
I fight the urge to cave into the walls that always win
I know the hurt I carry tries to drag me to the floor
But there’s a piece of me that still wants something worth fighting for

[Drop – Instrumental]

[Bridge]
I’m carving out a pathway through the places where I break
I’m learning how to breathe beneath the weight I used to take
I feel the distant calling of a light I used to chase
And every fragile step becomes another act of grace

[Final Hook]
I’m stuck in the shadows, but I won’t fade away
The darkness tries to hold me where I’m meant to decay
My heartbeat keeps on fighting just to see one more day
I’m stuck in the shadows, but I won’t fade away
I’m pulling through the anger that won’t let me obey
I’m climbing out of spaces where I’ve lost my own way

[Outro – Instrumental]
