Shadows of Trust

Walking these streets, shadows my only friends

Lost in the night, where does the hope end?

Gave all I had, kept my promises tight

But the dawn broke cold, and I’m out of the light

Familiar faces, now strangers in the rain

Trusted too much, now I carry this pain

They said I’d stand tall, through storm and through strife

But the burden’s too heavy, I’m fighting for life

Fallen from the grace I once knew

Struggling alone, with no family to turn to

This life’s a battle, and I’m losing my way

Trying to find tomorrow, in the darkness of today

Always reliable, never let them down

Now I’m just a shadow, lost in this town

Memories of comfort, now whispers of the past

The trust was a bridge, but it couldn’t last

They said I’d stand tall, through storm and through strife

But the burden’s too heavy, I’m fighting for life

Fallen from the grace I once knew

Struggling alone, with no family to turn to

This life’s a battle, and I’m losing my way

Trying to find tomorrow, in the darkness of today

Silent cries, in the wild night’s hush

Loyalty’s broken, turned into dust

Hoping someday, the pain will fade

Seeking a future, unbroken and made

Walking these streets, shadows fade at dawn

Still alive, still fighting, until I’m reborn
