My latest song that takes a deep dive into some familiar feelings. This ones a little dark, but it hopes to inspire others who maybe feel similarly.

Lyrics:

Trapped inside these prison walls, my mind is lost in halls
Searching for an exit, groping endlessly in dark
Thoughts racing, pulse pounding, is this all there is?
A maze inside my head, twisting paths lead nowhere

I call out for salvation, a saving grace to pull me through
Why must this isolation be my fate?
Alone with just my shadows, feeling so afraid
Longing for a hand to guide me to the light

Do you remember how it feels when your mind betrays?
Twisting truth into lies that you start to think are real

Tell me, have you known such consuming fear?
That leaves you paralyzed, unable to feel

Darkness my companion, it's always by my side
It's the system I'm confined in, when I turn my words to rhymes
I'm at its mercy, learning to cope inside
Seeking hope in hopeless times, a truth concealed by lies.

Loneliness clasps me tight, it has no mercy to lend
I search for peace amidst the chaos
I'm stuck on an island no one can see
Behind each smile, a storm rages inside of me

I wander lost in mazes, dark walls like a cage
No exits can be found, only dead ends abound
Sanity starts to fracture, piece by piece falling away
A mind unraveling, thread by thread giving way

I call out for salvation, a saving grace to lead me through
Why must this isolation be my plight?
Alone with just my demons, feeling so filled with fright
Longing for a beacon to guide me to the light

Have you ever felt your soul just die?
As hope fades into black, consumed by the night
Tell me, have you known such hollow screams?
I'm a shout unheard in the wasteland of memories

Emptiness will bury me, it's always by my side, for
any another day, my companion, ah, oh
Emptiness will bury me, it's always by my side, for
Every now and then I'm, just hanging on 
I'm just trying to stay alive

As Hope Fades
