Crimson Shadows

(Women screaming)

I just … (crying)

I can’t … (pause) do this…

Any- anymore

**Verse 1**

In the crack of dawn, her body decays,

Each bone a dagger, pain’s cruel ballet.

Flesh feels heavy, like stone against skin,

A prison of echoes, where nightmares begin.

Brain fog descends like a shroud of despair,

Thoughts drown in darkness, gasping for air.

Nausea churns like a beast in her gut,

She forces down morsels, but they rise up.

**Chorus**

Crimson shadows dance in her mind,

A haunting waltz where no peace can find.

Drifting through days, lost in the fray,

In this nightmare, she’s fading away.

A grotesque mask hides her hollowed eyes,

In the silence, no one hears her cries.

**Verse 2**

Mirrors reflect a ghastly sight,

A specter of sorrow swallowed by night.

The scale’s a monster, mocking her plight,

Doctors dismiss her, blind to the fight.

Each meal a battle, a war against fate,

She chokes on the struggle, it’s never too late.

Memories fracture like glass on the floor,

Familiar faces, but she’s lost evermore.

**Chorus**

Crimson shadows dance in her mind,

A haunting waltz where no peace can find.

Drifting through days, lost in the fray,

In this nightmare, she’s fading away.

A grotesque mask hides her hollowed eyes,

In the silence, no one hears her cries.

**Bridge**

Therapist smiles, says, “You’re just fine,”

But her screams echo in the corridors of time.

Family trauma, a chain forged in pain,

In a darkened abyss, she’s caught in the rain.

Each sigh like thunder, a storm in her chest,

A heart weighed down, longing for rest.

**Verse 3**

As night creeps in, she lies awake,

A symphony of terror, her sanity shakes.

Every heartbeat a reminder of dread,

Navigating a life that feels better off dead.

She dreams of escape, a descent into dark,

In the grip of shadows, she’s lost her spark.

With a final breath, she whispers goodbye,

To a world that’s blind, to a heart that can’t fly.

**Chorus**

Crimson shadows dance in her mind,

A haunting waltz where no peace can find.

Drifting through days, lost in the fray,

In this nightmare, she’s fading away.

A grotesque mask hides her hollowed eyes,

In the silence, no one hears her cries.

**Outro**

Let her story linger like smoke in the air,

A chilling reminder of how life can ensnare.

In the darkness, hold her name tight,

For those who suffer in the shadow of night.
