Trapped in a Shell

In a body not my own, I wander through the night A stranger in this skin, trying to find the light And my heart beats strong, but my senses are astray I’m tormented by the world, where souls sleep all day Oh God, have you forsaken me? In this barren land, where Darkness reigns supreme I search for answers, behind this façade so gray Who created this world? How can I wake it up today? I recall the classes, where I taught with such flair Unraveling mysteries of the human heart and soul’s care But now I’m trapped in this shell, unable to express my wisdom Lost in this foreign body Oh God, have you forsaken me? In this barren land, where Darkness reigns supreme I search for answers, behind this façade so gray Who created this world? How can I wake it up today? Listen up y’all as I spit the truth A soul in a prison, unable to break through The chains of ignorance, that bind and confine But still I hold on to hope like a beacon shining bright Oh God, have you forsaken me? In this barren land, where Darkness reigns supreme I search for answers, behind this façade so gray Who created this world? How can I wake it up today? Many songs and many rhythms, echoing through my mind A symphony of questions, as the Darkness starts to unwind As my heart yearns for freedom from this mortal coil To reconnect with my true self and let my spirit soar Oh God, have you forsaken me? In this barren land, where Darkness reigns supreme I search for answers, behind this façade so gray Who created this world? How can I wake it up today? Rise up, my brothers and sisters, let the music guide Through the shadows of despair, to a brighter side Where love and light prevail, and souls are awake And we’ll find our way together, through the darkest night Oh God, have you forsaken me? In this barren land, where Darkness reigns supreme I search for answers, behind this façade so gray Who created this world? How can I wake it up today? In the silence of the night, I’ll find my way to rise Through the echoes of my heart, I’ll hear your sighs And though I’m trapped in this shell, my spirit will not fade For in the Darkness, a spark remains, that one day will call my name
