Fractured Fortnight

[Intro]

Time moves, but never fast enough,

Silence hums where voices should be.

Two weeks held me by the spine,

Pulled me forward, let me bleed.

[Verse 1]

The lights never dimmed, the calls never ceased,  

Each hour slipped through my trembling hands.  

No rest, no sky, just the fractured repeat—  

Another night, another demand.  

[Chorus]

Distant peaks, a waiting wind,  

A place untouched by all I’ve seen.  

Let me vanish, let me break,  

Leave me where time forgets my name.  

[Verse 2]

Whispers of care, yet hands stay cold,  

Their comfort drifts but never lands.  

I gave and gave, I stood alone,  

And found myself in hollow plans.  

[Chorus]

Distant peaks, a waiting wind,  

A place untouched by all I’ve seen.  

Let me vanish, let me break,  

Leave me where time forgets my name.  

[Bridge] 

I held the weight, I bore the tide,  

Still, no one asked how deep it burned inside.  

Let me scream, let me shatter—  

I am more than silence, more than static matter.  

[Verse 3]

If I sleep, will I wake the same?  

If I stop, will the echoes fade?  

Two weeks swallowed me whole,  

Now I stand, but I am changed.  

[Outro]

Time moves, but never fast enough,

Silence hums where voices should be.

Two weeks held me by the spine,

Pulled me forward, left me free.
