Pull Me From My Shadows
Harper Zilmer
They whisper in my corners
Voices sweet as poisoned wine–
Telling me the world is easier
If I just stop drawing lines
Every step feels like a gamble
Every breath a tug-of-war–
I'm walking through a thousand mirrors
That don't show me anymore
And I'm scared of who I'm becoming
In the echo of their schemes
'Cause the darker path is tempting
But it's not the one I need
Pull me from my shadows
From the hands that drag me low
I'm fighting every whisper
That's convincing me to fold
They're calling me to crumble
To be someone I don't know–
But I'm clinging to the pieces
Of the light I won't let go
They offer me their shortcuts
Paint their sins in silver shine–
Say the rules don't really matter
If I cross them one more time
And I feel their dark magnetic
Pull me closer to the edge–
But I'm scared that if I follow
I won't find myself again
Pull me from my shadows
From the hands that drag me low
I'm fighting every whisper
That's convincing me to fold
They're calling me to crumble
To be someone I don't know–
But I'm clinging to the pieces
Of the light I won't let go
And I'm trembling at the choices
That keep tearing at my chest
It's so easy losing morals
When the wrong feels like a rest
Pull me from my shadows
From the hands that drag me low
I'm fighting every whisper
That's convincing me to fold
They're calling me to crumble
To be someone I don't know–
But I'm clinging to the pieces
Of the light I won't let go
I've been breaking in slow motion
Trying not to lose my way
Every step I take is shaking
Every truth I've tried to save
But even in this darkness
There's a voice that feels like mine–
Saying: You're not made for falling
You were built to realign
Pull me from my shadows
From the noise that dims my soul
I'm rising through the tension
Even when I lose control
They're pulling me to crumble
But I'm stronger than they know–
I'm holding to my spirit
To the light I won't let go
