(Verse 1)
The walls are closing in, the air is cold and thin
I’m drowning in the ghost of what you should have been
My hands are shaking now, the panic starts to grow
A shadow in the dark that will not let me go
I’m staring at the floor, crying out your name
But the empty room just echoes back my pain
(Chorus)
And it breaks my heart in two, this weight I cannot bear
I look into the mirror and there's nothing left but fear
The youth I should have lived is buried in the stone
Since the day you went away and left me here alone
It’s a hollow, bleeding ache, a never-ending night
I’m screaming in the dark, searching for the light
(Verse 2)
My friends are moving on, they tell me I’ll be fine
But they don't see the wreckage left inside my mind
The anxiety is loud, it screams inside my head
I’m haunted by the things we never should have said
I’m frozen in the past, a prisoner of grief
And time is just a thief that offers no relief
(Chorus)
And it breaks my heart in two, this weight I cannot bear
I look into the mirror and there's nothing left but fear
The youth I should have lived is buried in the stone
Since the day you went away and left me here alone
It’s a hollow, bleeding ache, a never-ending night
I’m screaming in the dark, searching for the light
(Bridge)
Why did you have to leave? Why did you have to go?
I’m sinking in the depression that nobody else can know
A piece of me is gone, ripped right from my chest
I’m so tired of the ache, I just want to find some rest
(Guitar Solo / Melancholic Outro)
(Slow, weeping electric guitar chords fade in)
Just a hollow ache...
A never-ending night...
I'm still calling for you...
In the dark.
(Fades out into silence)
