Inner Revolt
This is a song that dives deep into the human psyche, portraying the silent rebellion that brews within a fractured heart. Inspired by the poem of the same name, this composition reflects the journey from numbness and despair to the rediscovery of love, pain, and the essence of life itself.
Silence creeps into my soul,
My heart is cold as ice.
An abyss remains in control,
Leaving a blackened trace.
Gray ash cloaks everything around,
The day shines briefly, then must cease.
Within my soul, an echo’s found—
But love has died, it’s lost its peace!
Don’t be afraid, don’t be waiting…
Don’t love, don’t be aching!
Don’t plead and don’t forgive…
Don’t give and never receive!
Let every thought just slip away,
Remain an empty shell.
Whoever takes these lines today
Will feel in each a tale to tell.
No more pain can reach me now,
A shadow stands at dusk alone.
What once seared deep no longer howls,
Its scream can’t shake my soul of stone.
Eternal cold now holds its reign
Amid the lonely, starless night.
The sun no longer gives its flame;
A mournful voice is all in sight.
Though the world is harsh and cold,
A living spark still burns inside.
No single path, however bold,
Can snuff the warmth I dare to hide.
I step through darkness long and grim
Where every spark of fire has died.
Yet from gray ash I rise again
To find the self once lost inside.
To fear, to wait, to feel that ache…
To love, to hurt for one’s own sake!
To beg, to grant forgiveness real…
To give and take—to truly feel!
Reclaim the thoughts you cast aside,
Don’t stay an empty void.
Whoever dwells in these lines with pride
Will sense the truths they can’t avoid.
