In the race against the shadows, swiftly I tread
A heavy cloud of darkness, fears widespread
I quicken my pace, though it's always near
A haunting presence, it's whispers I hear
Behind, the past, a haunting silhouette
Black as night, with memories I can't forget
Tomorrow's skies, once painted in time so bright
Now clouded and blurred, a feeling of endless night
I've always had this despair, what if I pass it on?
If I stay would I be able to repair, what I put there
Break his chains that bind, bring a brighter sun?
A life full, yet empty inside
Numb to joy, as if It's never arrived
Is this the legacy that I am to leave,
An empty existence that they'll recieve
In crowded rooms, I still I feel alone
My friend darkness, is all I've known
Through halls so dark, its presence remain
Reflecting nothing, echoing only my pain
But in this journey where shadows persist
There's hope in connection, in the love I insist
Break the rhythm of despair, rewrite the song
For in unity and strength, we can belong.
