[Verse 1]
He sits alone upon a weathered bench,
Watching shadows dance beneath the street.
A thousand memories he can’t forget,
A thousand ghosts that never let him sleep.
He asks the night, “What happened to my life?
Why must I always fight this fight alone?
How did I lose myself along the way?
Can I escape this place I’ve come to know?”
[Pre-Chorus]
Will anybody remember my name?
Will I ever be free from this blame?
[Chorus]
This abode of the unknown,
This darkness that I call my home,
Every road I walk alone
Leads me farther from the man I’ve known.
But somewhere underneath the shame,
A dying spark still knows my name.
Though I’m lost and broken down,
I won’t disappear without a sound.
[Verse 2]
He closes his eyes and breathes again,
A fragile peace begins to fill his chest.
He whispers, “God, I don’t know where I’ve been,
But maybe You can lead me from this mess.”
His guilt is growing like a storm,
His strength is fading with the rain.
He wears a mask to hide the truth,
But underneath it burns the pain.
Is someone out there who can understand?
Who can see beyond this dark disguise?
[Chorus]
This abode of the unknown,
This darkness that I call my home,
Every road I walk alone
Leads me farther from the man I’ve known.
But somewhere underneath the shame,
A dying spark still knows my name.
Though I’m lost and broken down,
I won’t disappear without a sound.
[Bridge – Quiet]
Time keeps moving, slipping through my hands,
Taking pieces of the life I had.
He looks above into the endless sky
And whispers, “God, I’m still alive.”
“If there’s still a road that leads me home,
Give me strength to take one more step.”
[Breakdown]
The silence answers from the dark:
“You’re still here.”
[Final Chorus – Powerful]
This abode of the unknown,
Was never meant to be my home.
I’ve walked through shadows on my own,
But now I know I’m not alone.
All the guilt that held me down
Doesn’t have to own me now.
I was lost beneath the weight—
But I am still here.
[Outro]
The past remains, but so does he…
And for the first time,
He is free.
