​Verse 1
The ceiling’s a map of the things I haven't done
Tracing the cracks until they become
The shadows of giants, a whispering brood
In the hollow of night where the restless seclude.
My thoughts are like dry leaves caught in a gale
Spinning in circles, frantic and pale
Insecurities find a way through the door
Bringing me down to the cold bedroom floor.
​Pre-Chorus
And it’s quiet, yeah, it’s deathly still
But the volume in my head is against my will
The weight of the "maybe" is a heavy chain
Dragging my spirit through the dark of my brain.
​Chorus
Lost in the darkness, the silence screams
Haunted by ghosts that shatter my dreams.
Every ticking second is a battle I fight
Falling, falling, farther from the light.
I’m reaching for a peace that I can’t quite find
Just a little bit of mercy for a troubled mind.
​Verse 2
Yet deep in the chaos, a pilot light glows
A flicker of "something" that nobody knows.
A yearning for purpose, a hunger for more
Than pacing the length of this cage on the floor.
But the shadows have hands and they’re pulling me back
Painting the edges of my vision in black
I’m searching for north in a world with no pole
Trying to find the way back to my soul.
​Bridge
The moon is a witness, indifferent and high
To the war being waged under a suburban sky.
The fire is small, and the wind is so cold
But I’m gripping the embers I’m desperate to hold.
I’m not done yet.
I’m not done yet.
​Chorus
Lost in the darkness, the silence screams
Haunted by ghosts that shatter my dreams.
Every ticking second is a battle I fight
Falling, falling, farther from the light.
I’m reaching for a peace that I can’t quite find
Just a little bit of mercy for a troubled mind.
​Outro
The light...
It's just over the horizon.
Just a little farther from the light.
Wait for the sun.
(Wait for the sun.)
