Shadows of Reality

Verse 1:
In the back of my mind, a whisper grows louder
Temptation's claws, pulling me under
A sanctuary of pixels, a world so distorted
Hollow reflections of desires contorted

Chorus:
Shadows of reality, crumbling sanity
A prison built from screens, where light has never been
Bound by chains of my own creation, suffocating isolation
Shadows of reality, losing all that’s me

Verse 2:
Every click, every glance, deeper I fall
An empty gaze glued to the artificial call
Illusions of closeness, fantasies decay
Each moment stolen, another piece slips away

Chorus:
Shadows of reality, crumbling sanity
A prison built from screens, where light has never been
Bound by chains of my own creation, suffocating isolation
Shadows of reality, losing all that’s me

Bridge:
Eyes open, heart shut, trapped in the digital grave
In the silence of my soul, I search for something to save
Memories fading, life’s slipping through the seams
I’m lost in this nightmare, confounded by my dreams

Verse 3:
I see the pain in their eyes, those who still care
My heart is rotten, my soul laid bare
In the reflection, I barely recognize
A stranger stares back, immersed in their lies

Chorus:
Shadows of reality, crumbling sanity
A prison built from screens, where light has never been
Bound by chains of my own creation, suffocating isolation
Shadows of reality, losing all that’s me

Outro:
In the chasm of my mind, I claw for the light
A desperate fight, in the dead of night
May the shadows recede, may I find what’s true
To break these chains, and to start anew
Shadows of reality, I’ll reclaim me
