Ghost in My Own Skin

{shorth instrumental introduction] [Verse 1] In the depths of a chasm, I'm lost in the haze A world that's inverted, where shadows amaze The darkness is whispering, "You're not enough" A constant refrain, like a splinter in my thumb [Verse 2] I'm searching for a lifeline, a thread to cling to But every step I take, feels like a weight is pulling me down The world outside is a blur, a canvas of gray A reflection of the void, that's taken up the space inside [Verse 3] I'm a ghost in my own skin, a stranger to myself A prisoner of my mind, where the chains are self-imposed The weight of the world is crushing me, like a slow-moving tide I'm drowning in the silence, where my screams are lost inside (guitar solo] [Verse 4] In the mirror's gaze, I see a stranger's face A reflection of the pain, that's taken up its place The lines of sorrow etched, like a map of my despair A topography of hopelessness, where I'm lost in the air [Verse 5] I'm trying to find my way, through the darkness and the pain But every step I take, feels like I'm running in vain The world outside is moving, while I'm stuck in the same A prisoner of my own mind, where the chains remain [intrumental] [fade out]
