**Verse 1**
In the shadows, I walk alone,
A ghost in a house that’s never my own.
Echoes of laughter, they cut like a knife,
A family portrait, but I’m out of sight.
**Pre-Chorus**
Every word’s a dagger, every glance a stone,
In this twisted garden, I’m the weed overgrown.
I reach for their hearts, but they turn away,
In this empty silence, I’m fading away.
**Chorus**
Miles from a place to call home,
Lost in the darkness, I’m drowning alone.
A heart full of sorrow, a soul in despair,
I’d rather not see the dawn, I’m gasping for air.
Miles from a place where I belong,
A prisoner of silence, I’m trapped in this song.
With every sunrise, I feel less alive,
In this world of shadows, I just want to die.
**Verse 2**
I wear my scars like a badge of shame,
Invisible chains, they bind me in pain.
Each family gathering, a reminder of loss,
A table of strangers, I’m the one who pays the cost.
**Pre-Chorus**
Every smile’s a mask, every hug feels cold,
In this fractured mirror, my story’s untold.
I scream for connection, but they turn away,
In this endless night, I’m fading away.
**Chorus**
Miles from a place to call home,
Lost in the darkness, I’m drowning alone.
A heart full of sorrow, a soul in despair,
I’d rather not see the dawn, I’m gasping for air.
Miles from a place where I belong,
A prisoner of silence, I’m trapped in this song.
With every sunrise, I feel less alive,
In this world of shadows, I just want to die.
**Bridge**
(Spoken)
Can you hear me?
I’m screaming through the walls,
A silent plea for solace,
But no one hears my calls.
(Shouted)
I’m breaking, I’m breaking,
These chains won’t let me go,
In this house of ghosts,
I’m the one they’ll never know!
**Breakdown**
(Music intensifies)
Miles from a place, I’m lost in the dark,
A flicker of hope, but it’s fading, it’s stark.
I’m drowning in shadows, I’m losing my fight,
In this cold, cruel world, I’m a ghost in the night!
**Chorus**
Miles from a place to call home,
Lost in the darkness, I’m drowning alone.
A heart full of sorrow, a soul in despair,
I’d rather not see the dawn, I’m gasping for air.
Miles from a place where I belong,
A prisoner of silence, I’m trapped in this song.
With every sunrise, I feel less alive,
In this world of shadows, I just want to die.
**Outro**
In the miles that divide, I’ll find my own way,
Through the ashes of sorrow, I’ll rise from decay.
Though I’m miles from a place to call home,
I’ll forge my own path, I’ll no longer roam.
