Darkness Everywhere

(Verse 1) Sun dips low, paints the sky a bloody bruise Shadows stretch, hungry tendrils reaching loose Every creak of the floorboards, a monster's bony hand Clawing up from the basement, a nightmare wonderland (Pre-Chorus) Sweat slicks my skin, the air thick with dread Logic surrenders, replaced by primal dread Can't hold back the shiver, a primal, cold embrace Darkness whispers secrets, a haunting, hollow space (Chorus) Darkness, darkness, suffocating shroud Blotting out the colors, screaming voices loud My own reflection, a stranger with wild eyes Fear's a parasite, feeding on my cries (Verse 2) Flinch at every rustle, every whisper of the breeze Mind conjures horrors in the swirling, shapeless trees Memories resurface, ghosts of shadowed fears Clawing at my sanity, drowning out the years (Pre-Chorus) Teeth grit tight, but the tremors won't subside Heart a frantic drumbeat, trapped and nowhere to hide Can't pierce the thick curtain, the inky, endless night Lost in this abyss, a solitary fight (Chorus) Darkness, darkness, suffocating shroud Blotting out the colors, screaming voices loud My own reflection, a stranger with wild eyes Fear's a parasite, feeding on my cries (Bridge) Is there light beyond this? A flicker, faint and small? Will reason ever conquer, or will this darkness take all? Gotta find the embers, gotta spark a dying flame Chase away the shadows, reclaim my own damn name (Chorus) Darkness, darkness, just a wall to break Gotta find the courage, a stand for my own sake This reflection, a fighter with burning eyes Fear's a parasite, choking on my rise (Outro) One step, then another, into the unknown Embrace the uncertainty, never be alone Darkness may linger, but I won't be confined This is my fight, my freedom, and I'll leave fear behind
