Weight of Shadows Lyrics

In a world painted gray, where only silence screams,

Counting every tear that drifts from shattered dreams.

A ledger of the heart with numbers cold and stark,

When the cost of living swallows hope in the dark.

Suicide is a valid choice, they say it's wrong or right,

But when life feels like a cage, who can win this fight?

No guilt need be carried on this haunted ride—

They will never understand the shadows deep inside.

Chains forged from traditions bind us to despair,

Voices shout demands as if they're unaware.

"You must wear this badge; don't you dare break free!"

But what about my spirit? What do I want to be?

Suicide is a valid choice—a whisper in the night.

Amidst all their searching eyes—let me take my flight.

It's not betrayal's cry; it's peace I seek instead—

For those who hold attachments have buried me alive.

Those with control issues weave their webs so tight —

Feed upon your sorrow 'til there's nothing left in sight.

Yet beneath this weighty burden lies a soul untamed—

Just like petals falling gently…it still calls my name.

In these moments fleeting where clarity can reign,

What is tradition but an anchor pulling down through pain?

The echoes of their needs drown out my desperate plea—

Yet freedom whispers softly through the depths within me.

Suicide is a valid choice—the option laid so bare,

To escape expectations woven harshly into air.

If departure holds release from this suffocating trance:

Then let them weep for themselves—I am taking back my chance!

So lift up empty bottles to reflections lost at sea—

Raise your voice to silence; now always let it be!

No guilt shall shadow twilight where light becomes anew –

I've made my decision; here's goodbye—and strength breaks through!
