Demysrios - Rough Middle School Lyrics

In the crowded hallways of my high school days
I walk alone lost in a darkened maze
Whispers and stares pierce through my skin
In the sea of faces I don't fit in
Lockers slam a rhythm of my pain
Every harsh word another drop of rain
I wear a smile but it's a hollow guise
Hiding the torment the truth in my eyes
Oh I long for a place where shadows fade
But every corner is a masquerade
Searching for a moment a space to breathe
In this empty world I just grieve
In the shadows of the hallway I'm unseen
Fighting battles that cut too deep and keen
With every step my heart is breaking
In this crowded world my spirit's aching
Oh to escape from this endless night
Where nothing seems to turn out right
In the echoes of my fears I'm lost today
Forever trapped in these shadows of gray
Friends who turned to ghosts without a trace
Their laughter now a haunting empty space
Every taunt and tease a wound too wide
I'm sinking in this sorrow nowhere to hide
Hiding in corners lost in my own mind
Dreaming of solace I can't seem to find
The laughter echoes but it's cruel and cold
Masking the pain that I can't unfold
Oh I search for a voice but it's too late
The shadows loom sealing my fate
Longing for someone who might understand
But I'm alone in this desolate land
In the shadows of the hallway I'm unseen
Fighting battles that tear at the seams
With every step my heart is breaking
In this crowded world my spirit's aching
Oh to escape from this endless night
Where nothing seems to turn out right
In the echoes of my fears I'm lost today
Forever trapped in these shadows of gray
In the silence there's no guiding light
Only the weight of the endless night
Struggling through the darkness with no end
Finding no solace no means to mend
The scars remain a constant reminder
Of a broken path that only grows finer
Lost in the shadows where hope can't stray
Stuck in the agony of another day
I remain in the shadows feeling so small
The weight of despair is my constant thrall
No escape from this darkened maze
Endless cycles of unending haze
Though I strive to find some peace within
I'm trapped in the cycle unable to begin
In the hallway's shadows I lose my way
Drowning in the night forever gray
In the shadows of the hallway I'm unseen
Fighting battles that tear at the seams
With every step my heart is breaking
In this crowded world my spirit's aching
Oh to escape from this endless night
Where nothing seems to turn out right
In the echoes of my fears I'm lost today
Forever trapped in these shadows of gray
In the shadows of the hallway I still roam
Lost and weary far from home
In the quiet darkness there's no light to show
Only the endless shadows that continue to grow
