Silent Divide (High)

The shadows lengthen before the light can break Each choice pulls deeper into the ache I trace the boundaries forming in the gloom A quiet warden of my own cold tomb The voices from the other side grow faint Their promises dissolve like morning mist I press against the growing hollow shade And wonder if the cost was ever paid And the weight begins to pull me down Deeper still, without a sound This silent divide, it grows so wide No room for light, no place to hide I sealed it tight to keep them out Now I'm the stranger, full of doubt The silent divide... The days bleed into one unbroken gray The colors fade where nothing dares to stray I see their faces through the thinning veil But memory twists them into ghostly pale They reach with promises of open skies But every touch just justifies the lies I pull the darkness closer, thick and strong To drown the chorus of the unfinished song Is this the shelter I was seeking? Or just the void that I've been feeding? One more step... one more lie... The silence remembers every cry... This silent divide, it swallows pride No turning back, no place inside I sealed it tight to keep them out Now I'm the only one left out The silent divide... (The silent divide...)
