With haunting melodies and poignant lyrics, it reflects the struggle of wanting to escape the suffocating emptiness while striving towards the light that represents healing and recovery.
Verse 1:
In the shadows I descend,
Where whispers haunt and silence bends.
A pit of sorrow, deep and wide,
Every plea for help I try to hide.
Chorus:
Crawling towards the light,
But it feels so far from sight.
The darkness pulls me back again,
Will I rise, or will I bend?
Verse 2:
Every heartbeat echoes loud,
A heavy shroud, a mournful crowd.
I reach my hands to touch the glow,
But the emptiness won’t let me go.
Chorus:
Crawling towards the light,
But it feels so far from sight.
The darkness pulls me back again,
Will I rise, or will I bend?
Bridge:
I see the sun, I hear the call,
But in this hole, I feel so small.
Every step I take is slow,
A battle fought, a heavy load.
Verse 3:
Yet deep inside a voice now grows,
It tells me of the strength it knows.
I’ll find a way, I’ll break these chains,
And turn my cries to hopeful refrains.
Chorus:
Crawling towards the light,
I can almost touch it tonight.
The darkness fades, I’m breaking free,
The emptiness no more will be.
Outro:
So here I stand, I’m on my way,
With every dawn a brand new day.
I’ll crawl and climb, I won’t retreat,
The light is near—I won’t accept defeat.

It's about being stuck in a dark hole of depression and slowly realizing that you need to crawl out before you fall in forever. You can see the light at the end of the tunnel, but you just can't quite reach it. The emptiness is all-consuming and nothing seems to make the feeling break.
