Lyrics
(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
