In the Shadows

The walls are breathing in and out

Their whispers crawl, they twist, they shout

No windows here, no way to run

The floor is cold, it pulls me down

A sinking ship, I'm gonna drown

The dark it laughs, it's just begun

I feel the weight, it crushes slow

No end in sight, no light to show

In the shadows, I'm alone

A maze of mirrors, flesh and bone

In the shadows, no escape

The dark it bends, it shifts, it shapes

The air is thick, it chokes my breath

Each step I take, it tastes like death

The silence screams, it's razor thin

The clocks don't tick, the time is gone

A ghostly choir hums their song

A hollow hymn beneath my skin
