Trapped In The Shadows

Verse 1

The walls are closing, the air is tight

Years of whispers, threats in the night

I count my steps, I hold my breath

Every word I say feels like a test

I’ve learned to nod, to smile, to comply

To hide the fear that I can’t deny

The world outside doesn’t see the chains

They don’t know the weight of my pains

Pre-Chorus

But somewhere inside, a spark remains

A tiny flame that won’t break in chains

Chorus

I’m trapped in the shadows, but I still breathe

I’ll hold my heart, though he tries to deceive

Every glance, every word, a twisted game

But I won’t vanish, I won’t be the same

I’m holding on, I’m still alive

Even in darkness, I’ll survive

Verse 2

I walk on eggshells, I hide my eyes

I memorize every move, every lie

The love I hoped for turned to control

Years of fear carved into my soul

I dream of light, of freedom, of air

Of a life where I’m more than his snare

And though my body trembles, my mind is clear

I’ll endure the storm, I won’t disappear

Pre-Chorus

But somewhere inside, a spark remains

A tiny flame that won’t break in chains

Chorus

I’m trapped in the shadows, but I still breathe

I’ll hold my heart, though he tries to deceive

Every glance, every word, a twisted game

But I won’t vanish, I won’t be the same

I’m holding on, I’m still alive

Even in darkness, I’ll survive

Bridge

I’ve learned the art of quiet survival

Of small rebellions, of mental revival

Every whisper I swallow, every step I take

Is a promise to myself, I won’t break

Final Chorus

I’m trapped in the shadows, but I still breathe

I’ll hold my heart, though he tries to deceive

Every glance, every word, a twisted game

But I won’t vanish, I won’t be the same

I’m holding on, I’m still alive

Even in darkness, I’ll survive

Outro

Years may pass, the chains may bind

But I carry my spark, I won’t unwind

And one day the light will break through the night

I am still here—I am still fight
