In a town where shadows cling so tight,
Isolation wraps me like a fading dream,
I walk these streets beneath a silvered night,
Where whispers of the past unravel at the seam.
Every weight I carry, anchored in my mind,
The chains of yesterday, they rattle, they confine,
But deep within this frame, a flicker starts to break,
A longing for that freedom, a leap I crave to take.
Through the hollow echoes, I find my voice arise,
As the light begins to shimmer, painting constellations wide,
The sky splits open, pouring colors through the grey,
In the quiet of the chaos, I’m feeling on my way.
I’ve wandered through the silence, feeling so misplaced,
In mirrors filled with memories, the outlines seem to fade,
But the rhythm of my heartbeat is a song I won't ignore,
Pulling at the shadows, urging me to soar.
With every step I'm lighter, the chains begin to bend,
They’re rusted from the dreaming, and I’ll break them in the end,
The hollow space around me whispers secrets from the light,
Telling me that I was meant to dance until the night.
So I’ll fling these doubts away, let the echoes fade behind,
In the freedom of the moment, I’m unchained and redefined,
The isolation shatters, like glass beneath the dawn,
In the aftermath of darkness, a new day is reborn.
I stand here in the glow, with the past now out of sight,
Embracing all that lingers, as I step into the light,
No longer just a shadow, I’ve found my place to be,
These hollowed echoes singing, echoing the sound of me.
