Whispers in the Dark

They're coming

Can you hear them?

The whispers

In the dark

(You'll never be good enough...)

(Everyone sees right through you...)

(Why even bother trying?)

Creeping shadows, closing in

Doubts and fears beneath my skin

Every corner, every turn

Voices hiss, my mind they burn

I try to run, I try to hide

But the whispers live inside

Whispers in the dark

Shadows dance and demons hark

Echoes of my deepest fears

Taunting through the silent years

(You're losing control...)

(Slipping away...)

(Your mind is betraying you...)

(Reality is crumbling around you...)

(No one can save you from yourself...)

(You're falling into the abyss...)

(The darkness is consuming you...)

(You can't trust your own thoughts...)

(There's no way back to sanity...)

(You're disappearing piece by piece...)

Tick-tock, racing thoughts

Fight-or-flight, tied in knots

Trust no one, trust myself?

Sanity on the highest shelf

I cover my ears, I shut my eyes

But the whispers never die

Whispers in the dark

Carve their words into my heart

Doubts that gnaw and fears that burn

Will I ever live and learn?

(You're nothing but a fraud...)

(They'll see through you eventually...)

(Everything you've achieved is just luck...)

(You don't deserve any of this...)

(You'll never be good enough...)

(Everyone's just pretending to like you...)

(One mistake and it all falls apart...)

They say I'm broken

They say I'm weak

They say I'll never overcome

They say I'm doomed to repeat

But are they real?

Or just echoes of my fear?

Who are they?

(Not good enough)

Who am I?

(You'll always fail)

(Give up now)

(No one cares)

(You're alone)

SHUT UP!

Whispers in the dark

I'll tear you apart

Truth or lies, I will discern

From your poison, I will learn

Whispers in the dark

You won't claim my heart

I may doubt, I may fear

But I'm still standing here
