[Intro]
In the shadows, I’ve been hiding away
Dreams fade fast, in the light of yesterday
[Verse 1]
28 years, walking this lonely line
Built my fortress, afraid to cross the dotted line
Thought love could touch me, but I kept it at bay
In a world that’s cold, I lost my way
[Pre-Chorus]
Autistic spectrum, struggles I hide
Fears of commitment, deep inside
Damaged and scarred, yet still I stand
In solitude’s grip, I command
[Chorus]
My ego’s won, I’ve claimed my ground
In a world that never turned around
Bloodline ends, I carry the weight
Selfish dreams, sealed by fate
[Verse 2]
Mother understands, I hear her call
Father’s forgiving, I’ve built my wall
Goals are mine, no apologies
This world’s no place for small hearts like these
[Pre-Chorus]
Temporary love, I learned to distrust
In my silence, I find my just
Heart’s ignored, yet I won’t pretend
In my solitude, I find my end
[Chorus]
My ego’s won, I’ve claimed my ground
In a world that never turned around
Bloodline ends, I carry the weight
Selfish dreams, sealed by fate
[Bridge]
No more tears, no more cries
Just truths whispered in my mind
Alone but free, I embrace the night
In my selfishness, I find my light
[Outro]
This is my story, cold and bare
A soul unspoken, a silent prayer
World keeps turning, I stand alone
In this solitude, I’ve made my home
