Shadows

I ain’t hiding in the dark no more,

If they want shadows?

Let ’em burn.

Yeah… I came from a place where the doors stayed locked,

Where a kid learned pain before he learned how to talk.

Where the nights felt long and the fear felt strong—

But I broke those chains, now I’m moving on.

Trauma left marks in my bloodstream,

But it forged me—turned me into something unseen.

Every scar that they wished would break me?

Now it’s ammo, watch me detonate freely.

I crawled through fire,

Now I walk like steel—

You can throw your shadows,

I’ll show you what’s real.

Let them burn through the shadows,

Let them fall where I rise.

All the pain that they handed me

Turned the fear into fire inside.

Let them burn through the shadows—

I’m done being controlled.

If the darkness wants to stop me,

It better come bold.

Look—

I spent too long feeling small,

Now I stand so tall I can stare through walls.

Every whisper they used to say “he’ll fall”?

Now it’s echoes, empty, that’s all.

They tried to write my ending—

Ink made of doubt and fear.

But I tore the page out,

I’m the author here.

My pulse hits harder than the kicks in the beat,

I’ve taken hell’s heat—still I’m on my feet.

You don’t get to break me twice, that’s fact,

I’m the storm they made—now I’m striking back.

Let them burn through the shadows,

Let them fall where I rise.

All the pain that they handed me

Turned the fear into fire inside.

Let them burn through the shadows—

I’m done being controlled.

If the darkness wants to stop me,

It better come bold.

Yeah…

No fear left, no chains, no sorrow.

Let them burn through the shadows—

I’ll walk through tomorrow.
