[Intro]
Silent shadows, secrets kept inside
Lost in the darkness, nowhere to hide
A whisper of regret, haunted by past pain
Echoes of silence, falling like rain
[Verse 1]
Met an old face in the fading light
Eyes full of stories, truths out of sight
He saw through the façade, knew something was wrong
Fading bruises, a silent song
[Pre-Chorus]
He wanted to break free, to shout, to fight
But the fear held him tight, kept him in night
Guilt weighs heavy, a burden to bear
Wishing he’d spoken, showing he cared
[Chorus]
Dark tales hidden behind the wall
Silent screams that no one saw at all
He wished he’d been brave, to turn the tide
To stand for the truth, not let it hide
[Verse 2]
Long sleeves hide the pain, scars beneath
A life of shadows, a silent belief
He held the secret, a heavy chain
Wishing he could ease the pain
[Pre-Chorus]
Dreaming of courage, a voice to shout
But swallowed by fear, drowning out
His guilt a shadow that lingers on
Praying someday or someday will be gone
[Chorus]
Dark tales hidden behind the wall
Silent screams that no one saw at all
He wished he’d been brave, to turn the tide
To stand for the truth, not let it hide
[Bridge]
If only time could be rewound
To speak the words that now resound
A chance to save, to make things right
To bring the truth into the light
[Outro]
Silent shadows, now a distant cry
Hope for the day the truth won’t die
Guilt still lingers, but he fights on
For the strength to right what’s gone wrong
