Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse 1] Forced to walk that trail of tears Dust in my throat Names in my ears Watching friends and loved ones fall Carry their stories That’s all We were told there was a brighter place Signed-away future with a stranger’s face Promised peace Given iron and smoke Smiles in the sunlight Hands at our throats [Chorus] See me I am more than what your pages say See me I am breathing through this blood-stained day You can steal our land You can draw your lines But you won’t erase these lives of mine See me See me [Verse 2] Broken earth and crowded ground Four bare walls Fences all around Forced to squeeze whole worlds in a single room Songs turned to whispers Under the moon Sisters taken in the dead of night Names changed Braids cut Forced into white No one comes knocking No call No search Their empty blankets Laid out in church [Chorus] [Bridge] Remember each footprint Each hand I held tight Every small prayer Thrown into the night You took what you wanted Left us with scars But we’re still here Counting your stars [Chorus]

Haunting modern folk with sparse acoustic guitar, low percussion, and male vocals; verses almost spoken over a tense drone, chorus blooms with layered harmonies and a distant drum pulse that feels like a march. Dynamics rise from hushed confession to raw, cracked shouts on the hook, then fall back to an uneasy whisper at the end.
