Lyrics

Four walls breathe around me,
Like shadows made of stone,
A kingdom built from echoes
Where I sit alone.
No roads lead through this darkness,
No windows hold the sky,
Only questions hanging motionless,
Refusing still to die.
The world became a distant shore,
A dream I cannot touch,
And every memory I treasure
Now seems to hurt too much.
The lock is on the outside,
The prison's in my head,
A thousand unsaid words alive,
A thousand futures dead.
Inside the box,
Where daylight slowly fades,
I count the ghosts and broken prayers
That loneliness has made.
Inside the box,
Where silence learns to scream,
I hold the fragments of myself
And sew them into dreams.
The walls are small,
Yet somehow they contain
An ocean made of sorrow,
An empire built from pain.
Inside the box,
I meet the man I am.
The ceiling knows my secrets,
The floor has heard my cries,
The darkness reads the stories
Hidden behind my eyes.
I speak with old reflections,
The versions left behind,
The reckless boy who trusted luck,
The man who lost his mind.
I ask them where the years have gone,
Why blessings disappeared,
Why destiny can build a throne
Then bury it in fear.
The clock no longer matters,
The seasons drift away,
The only thing still moving here
Is thought after thought each day.
Inside the box,
Where daylight slowly fades,
I count the ghosts and broken prayers
That loneliness has made.
Inside the box,
Where silence learns to scream,
I hold the fragments of myself
And sew them into dreams.
The walls are small,
Yet somehow they contain
An ocean made of sorrow,
An empire built from pain.
Inside the box,
I meet the man I am.
Maybe every prison
Has a hidden door inside,
Not made of keys or freedom,
But the courage not to hide.
Maybe what survives the fall
Is stronger than before,
A heart that keeps on beating
When it has every reason not to anymore.
Inside the box,
The darkness knows my name,
Yet somehow in its emptiness
A tiny spark remains.
Inside the box,
The world became so small,
Yet in that tiny universe
I found the strength to crawl.
The walls stood high,
The chains remained the same,
But something deep within me
Refused to wear the blame.
Inside the box,
Where hope was almost gone,
I learned that even broken souls
Can somehow carry on.
The box was never only stone.
It was fear.
It was memory.
It was regret.
It was waiting.
And somewhere inside all of it,
A voice whispered,
"You are still here."
