The Shadows

Описание: "The Shadows"
Depression builds walls that trap the mind in a quiet, invisible war. The physical world loses its light, and standing on the absolute edge becomes a brutal battle between surrendering to the void or enduring the pain. It is a cold reality where memories fade, strangers look the other way, and the silence seems to offer a permanent peace. Acknowledging the absolute depth of that darkness brings the honest, unfiltered truth out into the open.


The walls are closing in, and the mind can't win. "The Shadows" is a dark and raw look at the breaking point when the only thing left is a quiet war. It is about standing on the edge, looking into the void, and feeling the darkness whisper to the soul. When the memories fade and the silence offers a cold release, the edge feels like the only escape.

The walls
are closing in
a quiet war
a mind can't win

The air is thick
and turning cold
a broken man
just growing old
and my soul
has been sold

Staring at
an emty floor
walking through
the final door
unable to take
anymore

The mind
is screaming
for a break
a toll
the shadows take
​
Standing on the
edge
looking over a
silent ledge
where the darkness
whispers to my soul
taking complete control

One step away
from an endless fall
waiting for the void
to call

A broken heart
with nothing left
breathing in
my final breath

The pain
it won't heal
the numb
is all a ghost
can feel

The memories begin
to fade
inside a trap
the mind has made

A twisted rope
and a fading light
surrendering the will
to fight
losing hope
in the world I see

Lost in the lonely
as strangers just
turn their head
leaving the flesh
dead
​
Standing on the edge
looking over a silent
ledge
the darkness
whispers to my soul
taking complete control

One step away
from an endless fall
waiting for a void
to call

A broken heart
with nothing left
breathing in
my final breath
​
The silence offers
a cold release
a permanent
and quiet peace
the can't escape

A breaking point
finally here
erasing away
all the pain and fear

(Looking at the edge)
no one to catch me
when I fall

Standing on the edge
looking over
a silent ledge
the darkness
whispers to my soul
taking complete control

One step away
from an endless fall
waiting for a void
to call
a broken heart
with nothing left
breathing in
my final breath

The demons hide
in the shadows
the quiet end
forgetting it all
