A shadow stumbles through a fractured frame,
The mirror whispers, "You're not the same."
Laughter fades, a ghost of time’s embrace,
Wrapped in echoes, a hollowed space.
A tide of words, they crash, they break,
Each one a scar my heart can't fake.
Blame scatters like leaves in the storm,
A world reshaped, yet still forlorn.
Wings of doubt, too weak to soar,
A fledgling trapped, unsure, unsure.
The clock spins tales of doors now gone,
Yet a spark pleads, "Hold on, hold on."
(Empty shell) Echoes fill the hollow core
(Fleeing winds) Running, searching evermore
(Empty shell) Echoes fill the hollow core
(Fleeing winds) Running, searching evermore
Walls grow high, their edges bleed,
A fortress of silence where none can feed.
The laugh I lost is a fleeting dream,
The mirror breaks, my soul a seam.
Steps falter, the path is ash,
A whisper calls but the echoes clash.
What lies ahead? A chasm wide,
Yet whispers murmur, "You’re alive, alive."
(Empty shell) Echoes fill the hollow core
(Fleeing winds) Running, searching evermore
(Empty shell) Echoes fill the hollow core
(Fleeing winds) Running, searching evermore
Will I crumble, a tower of sand?
Or rise a flame, a light unmanned?
The stars may fade, their meaning unclear,
But purpose lingers, near, so near.
(Spark within) A light not yet aglow
(Never end) A tide that will never slow
(Try again) The fall’s a step to rise
(Try again) I’ll meet the endless skies
(Empty shell) Echoes fill the hollow core
(Fleeing winds) Running, searching evermore
(Empty shell) Echoes fill the hollow core
(Fleeing winds) Running, searching evermore
