    LYRICS
    My life feels like a painting left unfinished
    But the artist died and here I lie
    Just a sliver of an image
    I feel that there's a purpose for my spirit
    But it's trapped in place stuck in it's cage
    Suffering from this sickness
    So here I am
    My mind feels like a child left alone in the dark
    I don't wanna be afraid
    But I'm so afraid
    I've walked this road for miles yet
    I've never felt so far
    From what I thought was happiness as I decay
    And fade away
    Most days it feels like I'm just going nowhere
    A perfect mess progressing less
    As the end keeps getting closer
    The world is shaking
    My bones are aching
    I've slipped deep in a sleep
    Without a sign of waking
    So here I am
    My mind feels like a child left alone in the dark
    I don't wanna be afraid
    But I'm so afraid
    I've walked this road for miles yet
    I've never felt so far
    From what I thought was happiness as I decay
    And fade away
    Discouraged and out of breath
    No courage nothing left
    Will I let this be the end?
    My mind feels like a child left alone in the dark
    I don't wanna be afraid
    My mind feels like a child left alone in the dark
    I don't wanna be afraid
    But I'm so afraid
    I've walked this road for miles yet
    I've never felt so far
    From what I thought was happiness as I decay
    And fade away

    Who needs the heavy, heavy music when the lyrics are heavy enough! Aha! Well done guys.

      Heavy does not always equal good
      This is the perfect example. Theres just emotion and thats all there needs to be

    I love that moment, when heavy band sometimes makes song, that is calm, but lyrics... well, they're pretty powerful.

    I love this song so much guys, it means a lot to me. I've been struggling living with an auto immune disease that I can't control for a few years now, and when I first listened to the lyrics it hit me how well they fit my situation and my feelings. It's amazing how much a song can really speak to you on such a personal level like this one does for me, and I've been playing it on repeat so much today.
    Thank you for such an amazing song guys keep up the amazing work 🙂❤️

    I can definitely related to this song given my past experiences with an emotionally-manipulative so-called “friend” that I had from middle school all the way through high school. He would manipulate me and cause me to fall back in his arms and be too trusting whenever we would argue... I didn’t set boundaries or cut ties with him until I left as a shell of my former self; angry, snappy, and even diagnosed with clinical depression by a professional doctor.
    “My mind feels like a child left alone in the dark, I don’t wanna be afraid, be afraid, but I’m so afraid.”
    That line hit me hard. Even though I’m 20 years old now, I still feel like I’m just a child, left alone in the dark... Some wounds have never healed... And even though I don’t want to be afraid, and though I’ve gotten the help I need and I’m happy and content again, some scars never truly heal... I feel so weak...
