Lyric

At the edge of this noisy town

A tiny room where I sit and dwell

Life grows thick and wild outside

Then withers, marking the seasons’ spell

I keep postponing everything

Photos stuck upon my walls

Filling gaps where feelings fade

My heart feels spineless through it all

It’s just a little evolution I chose

To keep myself alive…

See, I’m hiding once again

It’s not that I can’t find myself

I just pretend I don’t see

Decades spent in hide and seek alone

And maybe that’s why it feels so empty

No one comes searching for me

Today, I quietly watch

The streets grow thick and overgrown

Even if I scream

I won’t be lifted like a newborn child

Running, running, trying to live

Trying to bloom, I hold my line

It’s not that I can’t find myself

I just pretend I don’t see

Decades spent in hide and seek alone

And maybe that’s why it feels so empty

I’ve been my own shadow for so long

Pretending not to notice, hiding in plain sight

And though it’s lonely

It’s the path I chose to survive

A quiet fight, unseen by anyone
