Prompt / Lyrics
[Intro] Whispers in the dark, shadows on my back Running through the town, they're pointing, they lack Cry out in silence, I wear this heavy load A story misunderstood, truth yet untold [Verse 1] Walking down the streets of Ottawa Kansas Echoes follow me, whispers of what never passed Charged with shadows, painted as the villain in their eyes A plea I took, to shield the innocence, to keep the quiet cry [Pre-Chorus] They see a monster, but they don’t see the pain Guilty by suspicion, caught in the rain Living with the guilt that weighs me down A silent struggle, a silent sound [Chorus] A mountain on my shoulders, a ghost I bear Trying to prove, trying to care Nobody sees beyond the scar For the truth, for what they are [Verse 2] Battling the whispers, fighting through the blame Proof in the shadows, a different story, a different name Living with the truth that I was just trying to save A life I loved, feeling lost, trying to be brave [Pre-Chorus] They see a monster, but they don’t see the pain Guilty by suspicion, caught in the rain Living with the guilt that weighs me down A silent struggle, a silent sound [Chorus] A mountain on my shoulders, a ghost I bear Trying to prove, trying to care Nobody sees beyond the scar For the truth, for what they are [Bridge] Can’t outrun the judgment, can't escape the past Hoping someday they will see, hope it lasts Living with the guilt, carrying the blame One day they might see through the shame [Outro] So I walk these streets, silently alone Carrying my story, in a heavy stone Hoping for understanding, for the day they learn A man’s true heart, can it ever turn?
