Broken Promise
Navigating Shadows: Jon Dretto's Reflection on Broken Promises
Lyrics
Is this heart that's going numb
Feeling emotionally detached and unresponsive.
All a part of growing up
Wondering if the emotional numbness is a normal part of maturing.
Search for answers that never come
Seeking answers to questions that remain unanswered.
Pray to a God that never cared enough
Expressing frustration with a seemingly indifferent or absent God.
Holding out for better days
Hopeful for improvement but experiencing persistent pain.
But all the pain just stays the same
The pain persists despite the desire for positive change.
When did this dream become a nightmare
Reflecting on how a dream has turned into a nightmarish reality.
An endless road that's going nowhere
Feeling stuck on a path that leads nowhere.
Feels like I'm going nowhere
Sense of stagnation and lack of progress.
Will it get better when I'm older
Questioning if life will improve with age.
Will I ever stop the world from caving in
Desire to prevent personal collapse as life progresses.
Sleepless nights are getting colder
Experiencing increasingly colder and difficult nights.
So sick of feeling like a stranger in my skin
Expressing discomfort with one's own identity.
I'm still waiting for the light after the darkness
Waiting for positivity after a period of darkness.
Losing hope for a new life to begin
Losing hope for the start of a new, better life.
Maybe fairytales are anything but honest
Doubting the honesty of fairytales regarding happiness.
And happiness is just a broken promise
Suggesting that happiness is an unfulfilled promise.
Now my soul is wearing thin
Feeling emotionally drained and vulnerable.
Left to die with innocence
Left to suffer with lost innocence.
Climbing castles made of sand
Building fragile dreams and searching for emotional fulfillment.
Reaching for anyway to feel again
Struggling to find a way to experience emotions again.
Oh I just wanna feel again
Expressing a deep desire to reconnect with emotions.
Will it get better when I'm older
Questioning if life improves with aging, revisiting the theme.
Will I ever stop the world from caving in
Desire to prevent personal collapse as life progresses, revisiting the theme.
Sleepless nights are getting colder
Experiencing increasingly colder and difficult nights, revisiting the theme.
So sick of feeling like a stranger in my skin
Expressing discomfort with one's own identity, revisiting the theme.
I'm still waiting for the light after the darkness
Waiting for positivity after a period of darkness, revisiting the theme.
Losing hope for a new life to begin
Losing hope for the start of a new, better life, revisiting the theme.
Maybe fairytales are anything but honest
Doubting the honesty of fairytales regarding happiness, revisiting the theme.
And happiness is just a broken promise
Suggesting that happiness is an unfulfilled promise, revisiting the theme.
When I was young
Reflecting on the emotional capacity during youth.
I didn't think that i could feel
Unaware of the potential for deep emotional pain.
So alone
Currently experiencing profound loneliness.
Now I'm caught in the undertow
Caught in overwhelming and uncontrollable emotions.
Will it get better when I'm older
Questioning if life improves with aging, revisiting the theme.
Will I ever stop the world from caving in
Desire to prevent personal collapse as life progresses, revisiting the theme.
Sleepless nights are getting colder
Experiencing increasingly colder and difficult nights, revisiting the theme.
So sick of feeling like a stranger in my skin
Expressing discomfort with one's own identity, revisiting the theme.
I'm still waiting for the light after the darkness
Waiting for positivity after a period of darkness, revisiting the theme.
Losing hope for a new life to begin
Losing hope for the start of a new, better life, revisiting the theme.
Maybe fairytales are anything but honest
Doubting the honesty of fairytales regarding happiness, revisiting the theme.
And happiness is just a broken promise
Suggesting that happiness is an unfulfilled promise, revisiting the theme.
Is just a broken promise
Reiterating that happiness is merely a broken promise.
Is this heart that's going numb
Repeating the initial feeling of emotional numbness.
All a part of growing up
Revisiting the idea that emotional numbness is a
