Shadows In The Water

Intro

“Can’t… can’t… feel a thing…”

Verse 1

The night falls heavy, it clings to my skin

Whispers of you echo, I can’t let them in

Eyes closed, body still, pretending it’s fine

But inside a storm rages, blurring the line

Pre-Chorus

I learned to quiet the trembling inside

To fold myself small, nowhere to hide

The walls watch me crumble, the mirror looks through

I’m lost in the moments I never chose

Chorus

Shadows in the water, bleeding out slow

I wash and I scrub, but they won’t let go

Numb to the edges, floating in gray

The world moves around me, but I drift away

I’m silent, I’m small, but I survive somehow

Holding on to pieces, I don’t know how

Verse 2

The room hums empty, the clock ticks too loud

I wander in circles, head in a cloud

Hands that once burned me now live in my mind

I trace the patterns, but the warmth I can’t find

Pre-Chorus

I learned to quiet the trembling inside

To fold myself small, nowhere to hide

But even in shadows, a flicker remains

A pulse of resistance, a spark through the pain

Chorus

Shadows in the water, bleeding out slow

I wash and I scrub, but they won’t let go

Numb to the edges, floating in gray

The world moves around me, but I drift away

I’m silent, I’m small, but I survive somehow

Holding on to pieces, I don’t know how

Bridge

I whisper my rage, I whisper my fear

Even if no one ever hears

The water runs dark, but I am awake

I am still here, I will not break

Outro

“Shadows… can’t… can’t take me… I survive…”
