My Shadow, Your Light. by LyricallyInsane - Zona

Lyrics

I ain't scared of the grave no more...

But I dread the day you mirror my war.

That thought rips through my chest at night—

Like a blade made of guilt I can't fight.

Tatted up pain in a silent scream,

Hidin' scars like I’m scared to dream.

Dead eyes in my past still haunt,

But I'd bleed myself dry just to give y’all want.

Cried in the dark where the reaper waits,

Begged that my sins don’t replicate.

I broke things I swore I’d protect,

Now I build from the wreck outta self-respect.

Don’t learn love the way I did—

In a house full of silence, with fists as a kid.

Don’t wear my rage, don’t wear my name,

Don’t burn in the fire that forged my shame.

I fear the day you feel what I’ve felt—

This coffin of weight, this internal melt.

I fear the dark when it swallows the light,

So I pray you never fade in the night.

I ain't flawless, I’m fractured and torn,

But I’d burn down hell just to keep you warm.

I’ll hold the hurt, I’ll fight that fight—

So you never live the ghost of my life.

I still hear screams when the world goes still,

Shadows of a man who lost his will.

But y’all call me daddy, eyes like dawn—

So I bite my tongue and I soldier on.

I don’t need wings or a pearly gate,

Just your laughter cuttin' through my hate.

I don’t want y’all wearin’ my curse,

Thinkin' love means pain or a world reversed.

I break down in that rusted truck,

Voices in my head still scream I’m stuck.

But it ain’t your fault—I’m just haunted, son…

You gave me light when I had none.

I keep fightin' these wolves inside,

So y’all can grow without that bite.

My soul might crack, my mind might sink,

But I’ll never let you drown in the way I think.

I fear the day you feel what I’ve felt—

These demons that smile while your hope melts.

I fear the hush that creeps in night,

So I pray you always find your light.

I ain't perfect, I’m shattered and used,

But I’d burn forever just to protect you two.

I’ll drag the chains, I’ll bleed this fight—

So your name ain't carved in my past life.

If I ever fall short… just know I tried.

I loved you louder than my demons ever screamed.

And that’s real.
