Shadows In The Void

Yo, I woke up to a silence, no trumpets, no call,
Just the weight of existence, the nothingness raw.
We’re born with a purpose we ain’t never defined,
Pulled through a tunnel while the blind lead the blind.
They say life’s a gift, I see strings on the bow,
The package looks pretty, but it crumbles below.
Pain etched in our DNA, stitched in our breath,
From the moment we start, we’re just running from death.
A fleeting light? Nah, it’s the trick of the mind,
Joy’s a mirage on the sands of time.
What’s built will decay, every kingdom will fall,
Even the stars above us are prisoners all.
We’re born to the noise, shadows in the void,
Holding on to dreams that are easily destroyed.
They sing about meaning, but the choir is fake,
Life’s a feast for the few, the rest just take.
Yo, I asked the sky “Why?”, but the sky don’t reply,
It just stares back empty as the days roll by.
Man screams for answers, builds towers of lies,
To hide from the truth in his tear-soaked eyes.
We chase what we lose, a cycle we spin,
Pleasure’s a leash, dragging us deeper within.
They say time heals wounds, but nah, that’s a myth,
It just wears down the spirit like the edge of a cliff.
Pain’s the default, peace is rare,
Happiness a bubble that pops in the air.
We’re bound to the earth, it don’t owe us a thing,
From ashes to ashes, we’re ghosts on a string.
We’re born to the noise, shadows in the void,
Holding on to dreams that are easily destroyed.
They sing about meaning, but the choir is fake,
Life’s a feast for the few, the rest just take.
I see mothers in pain, fathers weighed by regret,
People love, lose, and they live to forget.
The candle burns fast, then you’re lost to the night,
With no one to care that you gave up the fight.
Some say it’s a game, but who set the rules?
We’re puppets in chains, spinning lies for fools.
No justice, no meaning, just empty applause,
Hollow men worship invisible laws.
But yo, there’s peace in the knowing, a calm in the void,
A truth more real than what joy destroys.
We suffer together; the world shares the weight,
No kings, no prophets, just an equalized fate.
I ain’t preaching despair-nah, this life’s the test,
Embrace the absurd, let the noise find rest.
Reject the delusion, break free from the chains,
There’s freedom in seeing the world as it claims.
So burn like a star that knows it’ll collapse,
Don’t lie to yourself while the void stares back.
Exist in defiance, a breath in the dark,
Carve your own name where no fire leaves a mark.
We’re born to the noise, shadows in the void,
Holding on to dreams that are easily destroyed.
They sing about meaning, but the choir is fake,
Life’s a feast for the few, the rest just take.
Yo, we’re shadows in the void...
Shadows in the void...
