The Present in Shadows

Echoes of yesterday, haunting the now

Can’t move forward, if you don’t show how

You say you'll change, but the silence speaks

Old wounds bleed when I hear the words you keep

Promises broken, still haunting me

Facing the mirror, who do I see?

If you apologize, I might let it fade

Show me your true colors, don’t let me wait

But if you're repeating, the cycle remains

The past isn't gone, it’s alive in your chains

The past is the present if you don't change

Living in echoes, rearranged

Offer me truth, or watch us decay

The future's a lie when the past has its way

Can you rewrite the story, turn the page?

Or are we just shadows, locked in a cage?

Until you admit, no peace will come

The past's defiant, refusing to run

So if you mean it, show me your heart

Otherwise, we’re destined to fall apart

The past isn’t dead, it’s watching and waiting

Change your ways, or keep on stagnating
