Bent Ardi - Paranoid

 

The silence bends, it’s breaking my trust, 

Shadows bloom gold, then shatter to dust. 

I’m chasing echoes that circle my skin, 

The war is inside, though it whispers within. 

 

Am I the liar, or the lie they hear? 

A mirror of doubt, refracted in fear. 

 

I’m lost inside... I'm paranoid 

Tearing the veil! 

Fighting the phantoms,

 In every breath I inhale.

 

I’m trapped inside... I'm paranoid 

Drowning in the gloom. 

 Haunted by silence,

I’ll fracture soon. 

 

I see the patterns in invisible thread, 

A thousand voices where no word is said. 

The ceiling is bleeding, the ground starts to sway, 

But no one believes what I lock away. 

 

I am the watcher of the thoughts I chase, 

A prisoner lost in a shifting maze. 

 

I’m lost inside... I'm paranoid 

Tearing the veil! 

Fighting the phantoms,

In every breath I inhale.

 

 I’m trapped inside... I'm paranoid 

Drowning in the gloom. 

Haunted by silence,

I’ll fracture soon. 

 

I'll fracture soon. 

 

I beg the daylight but I worship night, 

I carve the truth but it hides from sight. 

I want the stillness, yet I crave the storm, 

I break to pieces just to feel reborn. 

 

 I’m lost inside...

I'm paranoid Tearing the veil! 

Fighting the phantoms,

In every breath I inhale. 

 

 I’m trapped inside... I'm paranoid 

Drowning in the gloom. 

Haunted by silence,

I’ll fracture soon. 

 

 I’m lost inside... I'm paranoid 

Tearing the veil! 

Fighting the phantoms,

In every breath I inhale. 

 

 I’m trapped inside... I'm paranoid 

Drowning in the gloom. 

Haunted by silence,

I’ll fracture soon. 

 

 Paranoid… 

Paranoid…
