Shadows That Creep

No Turning Back

Verse 1

The hours drag on, the clock is my foe,

In the shadows, my thoughts echo low.

The bed calls me close, but fear holds me tight,

Memories are shadows that darken the night.

Chorus

I don’t want to sleep, ‘cause it feels like I’m wasting,

But staying awake is just overthinking,

In the whisper of night, I search for a sign,

Lost in my doubts, always confined.

Verse 2

City lights flicker like stars long gone,

Every blink is a whisper of promises drawn.

Outside, the world spins, but here there’s no route,

Voices in my head are the only truth.

Chorus

I don’t want to sleep, ‘cause it feels like I’m wasting,

But staying awake is just overthinking,

In the whisper of night, I search for a sign,

Lost in my doubts, always confined.

Bridge

Maybe tomorrow everything will collapse,

Where dreams meet awake, in a cruel relapse.

No light at dawn, just shadows that creep,

Whispers in my ears, secrets I keep.

Chorus

I don’t want to sleep, ‘cause it feels like I’m wasting,

But staying awake is just overthinking,

In the abyss of night, I can’t catch my breath,

Lost in my doubts, my soul is in unrest.

Final

And so I remain, in this dark cycle,

Unsure if waking will lead to revival.

The night holds me close, in its chilling embrace,

I’m lost in the silence, there’s no turning back.
