A crushing anthem of silent battles and resilience, Frozen in Time channels the inner fight against pain and isolation. With relentless riffs and raw vocals, it’s a voice for those trapped in their own darkness — fighting to rise, break free, and ignite hope.

Lyrics:

[Verse 1]
The world spins fast, a carousel of dreams,
But I’m stuck in shadows, stitched at the seams.
Their laughter echoes, their footsteps fade,
I’m a statue of sorrow, in darkness made.

They move ahead, a river's flow,
While I’m the stone that can’t let go.
The weight of pain, both seen and unseen,
A war inside, a silent scream.

[Pre-Chorus]
I wear the mask, I play the part,
But cracks run deep within my heart.

[Chorus]
Frozen in time, caught in the fire,
A silent soul consumed by desire.
To rise, to break, to breathe once more,
But the fight leaves me weaker than before.

[Verse 2]
I wage a war no one can see,
A battlefield carved inside of me.
Physical wounds that time won’t heal,
Mental scars that I conceal.

I fake a smile, I bite my tongue,
Pretend to be fine while I’m coming undone.
They see the surface, a practiced lie,
But they’ll never hear the tears I cry.

[Pre-Chorus]
I’m screaming loud inside my mind,
But the outside world is deaf and blind.

[Chorus]
Frozen in time, caught in the fire,
A silent soul consumed by desire.
To rise, to break, to breathe once more,
But the fight leaves me weaker than before.

[Bridge]
Every step feels like a mile,
Every word’s a forced-out smile.
I’m drowning here, yet no one sees,
The war that’s breaking, consuming me.

The weight I bear, it cuts so deep,
I fight all day, I bleed in sleep.
But still, I rise, though bent, though torn,
A fragile light before the dawn.

[Breakdown]
Fists clenched, teeth gritted tight,
I’m burning, breaking, but I’ll still fight.
The pain, the chains, they won’t define,
The spark of hope that’s still mine.

[Chorus]
Frozen in time, caught in the fire,
A silent soul consumed by desire.
To rise, to break, to breathe once more,
But the fight leaves me weaker than before.

[Outro]
I’ll carry the scars, I’ll bear the weight,
Through broken dreams and fractured fate.
Frozen in time, yet I’ll ignite,
A fragile flame still burning bright.
