Crimson Shadows

(Verse 1)

A rusted key, the lock clicks tight,

Dust and shadows choke the light.

Secrets linger, hushed and deep,

Memories stir, they never sleep.

(Verse 2)

Cobweb shrouds the hallway bare,

A child’s drawing lingers there.

A fractured mirror, vacant eyes,

A music box with broken cries.

(Chorus)

A phantom giggle in the air, then a mother's anguished cry

Ghostly whispers on the stairs, as the hours slowly die

Crimson shadows on the floor, where a lifeblood ebbed away

The day my mother's madness bloomed, and stole my world away

(Verse 3)

Behind the stairs, a hidden room,

A diary whispers darkened doom.

Before the screams, before the fall,

A fragile mind consumed it all.

(Verse 4)

Her head was filled with voices near,

Words unsaid, the weight of fear.

A battle lost, no place to hide,

The tide broke in and split her mind.

(Bridge)

Taken away in dead of night,

Through foster homes, no safe respite.

No gentle arms, no soft refrain,

Just echoes of her cry remain.

(Chorus)

A phantom giggle in the air, then a mother's anguished cry

Ghostly whispers on the stairs, as the hours slowly die

Crimson shadows on the floor, where a lifeblood ebbed away

The day my mother's madness bloomed, and stole my world away

(Outro)

The house still breathes, it calls my name,

A childhood scarred, a burning flame.

Dark threads unravel, truth and pain,

I break the past, I break the chain.
