Instrumental Intro
(Verse 1)
In a world of misfires, where my lanterns dimmed,
I tread on the shards of loss, uncertainty grimmed.
Each echoing failure, a reminder so stark,
Pushing people away, I danced in the dark.
Thought I was the master, truth wrapped in deception,
Pawn of my ego, lost in my perception.
(Hook)
Am I just a shadow, drifting in despair?
Wrestling my demons, no resolve, just air.
Looking for solace in a mirror that breaks,
Can I rise from the ashes, or is this what fate makes?
(Verse 2)
Toxicity brewed like a storm in my vein,
Constructing my walls, wearing pride as my chain.
I chased understanding, yet echoed disdain,
Every connection severed, a chasm of pain.
Thought I had it all, embracing my conceit,
Yet alone in the silence, it’s my heart that I beat.
(Hook)
Am I just a shadow, drifting in despair?
Wrestling my demons, no resolve, just air.
Looking for solace in a mirror that breaks,
Can I rise from the ashes, or is this what fate makes?
(Verse 3)
The ghosts of my choices whisper soft, yet they scream,
Caught in this labyrinth, trapped in my dream.
A pawn in a game I thought I could play,
Now searching for light in this self-made decay.
With each breath an echo, a prayer to the void,
Can I salvage this life that I foolishly destroyed?
(Hook)
Am I just a shadow, drifting in despair?
Wrestling my demons, no resolve, just air.
Looking for solace in a mirror that breaks,
Can I rise from the ashes, or is this what fate makes?
