Kordan Blackblade - Voices in the Dark Lyrics

It's not a phase, it's a way I've been Like a shadow creeping everywhere
They say, man, just shake it off, don't let it win But how do I explain the storm raging within
They see calm waters, but beneath I'm drowning Each breath I take feels more like I'm counting
Families staring like they're strangers to my fight Wishing I could tell them what keeps me up at night

Crystals in the dark, they're pulling me apart Can't you feel my heart
Breaking under pressure, but they just can't see This pain isn't just a part of me, it's consuming me
I scream for help, but the echo's all I got Family's love feels heavy like a noose tied in a knot
I'm not broken, I'm a battlefield, chaos and scars My mind's a prison with invisible bars

They say, smile more, you're blessed, but I'm stressed Carrying the guilt of the love I suppress
It's not that I don't care, it's that I can't explain This war in my brain makes it hard to sustain
Drowning in my headspace, chains to my pain can't erase Tears falling, they rain on my case
Family's love, I'm out of their grace Words I can't vocalize, fears I can't normalize

Dark roads I fantasize, if I leave will they realize? Voices in the dark, they're pulling me apart
Can't you feel my heart? Breaking under pressure, but they just can't see This pain isn't just a part of me, it's consuming me
You can't understand me, just hold me tighter Still fighting
