The Forever Dilemma

Author: Midnight Volt Title: The Forever Dilemma Lyrics: [Intro] How frustrating... Was it even real, or did you just pretend? While you are not with me... who am I? [Verse 1] I still remember the music from our very last dance, The bittersweet sadness of our final chance. We knew this precious time was fading into the gray, And now you’re ignoring me, drifting so far away. Why did you show me your heart and your soul? Tell me what shifted? What made us withdraw? [Pre-Chorus] Finding you was so unreal, a dream in the night, You are alive, you are here, just out of my sight. But your presence is cruelty, it rings through the air, A beautiful torment showing me you no longer care. Everything tells me this reality is a lie, An actor on a stage beneath a false blue sky. (It can’t be you… how am I supposed to stand face to face with you?) [Chorus] Bring me back my identity, break the illusion down! I’m just a tragic actor wearing a faded crown! I cheated on you when I said I could wait and let go, When I said goodbye, it was just for the show! I don't really want to cut the ties we made, Watching our reflection slowly start to fade! [Verse 2] [Calm, expressive vocal, steady rhythm] I tore down every wall and every door, And hid my heavy armor under the basement floor. I wanted your own eyes and heart to see— A bond unbroken, wild and completely free. While you are running to a distant view, I’ve planted roots beneath this lonely blue. We shared the road, but all the strength is mine— I painted all my world; what's left behind? [Pre-Chorus] And yet for you, I cannot move—the paradox is real, Locked inside the paralyzing pain of what I feel. The forever dilemma is tearing me apart, A frozen state of emergency inside a broken heart. (The endless choice... it breaks me from inside...) [Chorus] Bring me back my identity, break the illusion down! I’m just a tragic actor wearing a faded crown! I cheated on you when I said I could wait and let go, When I said goodbye, it was just for the show! I don't really want to cut the ties we made, Watching our reflection slowly start to fade! [Bridge] You became the blindfold… the ghost in the machine. The only honest line in a script so unclean. But the borders are heavy, and the ocean is wide, And I am left standing on the losing side. Tell me... while you are not with me... Who am I? [Outro] Who am I? (Who am I?) The phantom of a heartbeat… A fragile distant shade… (A Palette of fading feelings) Turning to gray.. I don't want to cut ties. (Just letting the illusion die.) Knowing the truth was never far behind... [End]
