[Intro] dark (end) [Instrumental Drop] [Verse 1] The strings are pulling tighter, fighting for my will The room is growing colder, everything is still It claims that it belongs here, woven in my chest It wants to rule the kingdom, never letting me rest But I am not a demon, I am built of bone and tears I am more than just the summation of my fears Though the dark soul rises, trying to dictate the game I will hold onto my spirit, I will speak my own name. [Pre-Chorus] I am not possessed, can you tell? I’m just trapped inside this living hell I'm still human, I am still awake Don't let them take what they want to take [Chorus] So hold me until the dark will end, And be the shelter where my soul can mend The heavy silence tries to suffocate It makes a prison out of all this weight Just whisper close, let it be known That in this dark, I’m not aloneIt tries to tell me who to be And strips away the rest of me My thoughts are running in the deep Too terrified to fall asleep The cold is creeping in, the wind is high, But I can see the courage in your eye. We're letting go of the fear Now that you are here(dark end) [Instrumental Drop] [Verse 2] It mimics my movements, it mimics my voice It acts like my actions are entirely my choice It mirrors my smile but the eyes are dead and hollow Every single step I take, it’s bound to follow It learns my secrets, it steals my disguise Looking back at me through a stranger's eyes I’m a prisoner inside of the skin that I own As the dark soul grows on this stolen throne But your touch is a spark in the deepest black The only thing that's bringing me back [Chorus] So hold me until the dark will end, And be the shelter where my soul can mend The heavy silence tries to suffocate It makes a prison out of all this weight Just whisper close, let it be known That in this dark, I’m not aloneIt tries to tell me who to be And strips away the rest of me My thoughts are running in the deep Too terrified to fall asleep The cold is creeping in, the wind is high, But I can see the courage in your eye. We're letting go of the fear Now that you are here(dark end) [Instrumental Drop] [Bridge] It’s haunting the hallways, it’s scratching the floor It’s heavy and creeping right up to the door It’s haunting my mind, but I cannot fear I feel your warmth starting to appear The phantom can whisper, the specter can try But a shadow dissolves when the light is nearby I cannot fear, no, I cannot fear! [Instrumental Drop] [Chorus] So hold me until the dark will end, And be the shelter where my soul can mend The heavy silence tries to suffocate It makes a prison out of all this weight Just whisper close, let it be known That in this dark, I’m not aloneIt tries to tell me who to be And strips away the rest of me My thoughts are running in the deep Too terrified to fall asleep The cold is creeping in, the wind is high, But I can see the courage in your eye. We're letting go of the fear Now that you are here(dark end) [Instrumental Drop]
