[Intro]
Silent screams in the dead of night
Walking shadows, losing sight
Chains of my past, they still hold tight
Yearning for a glimpse of the light
[Verse 1]
I was trapped in a silent cage
Fighting demons from another age
Thought I was alone on this lonely stage
Haunted by my own silent rage
[Pre-Chorus]
Why didn’t I break away?
Why didn’t I run and hide?
Caught in my own mind’s sway
Lost my truth, lost my pride
[Chorus]
Echoes of “Why me?”, ringing loud
Caught in a storm, lost in the cloud
Trying to find my way out somehow
Rising from the ashes now
[Verse 2]
Devoted to a dream I begged to keep
Ignoring wounds so deep and bleak
Walking on eggshells, secrets I couldn’t speak
Cracked pavement where my heart would seep
[Pre-Chorus]
Why didn’t I call for help?
Why didn’t I break the chain?
Living life on a fragile shelf
Caught in endless pain
[Chorus]
Echoes of “Why me?”, ringing loud
Caught in a storm, lost in the cloud
Trying to find my way out somehow
Rising from the ashes now
[Bridge]
Now I see through the storm’s eye
Breaking free, no more lie
Healing scars and asking why
Learning how to fly
[Outro]
No more silence, no more fear
Stronger now, I am here
The past may whisper in my ear
But I hold my tears, I hold my tears
