[Intro]
In a town that's drowning, I can't escape the sound,
Echoes of the past in every step I pound.
[Verse 1]
Flooded streets like memories pull me back to shore,
Every corner turned, the shadows start to soar.
Cherry wood trailer park, my ghosts in every tree,
Haunted by the whispers of who I used to be.
[Pre-Chorus]
Night terrors they wrap around my mind,
Every fading laugh, a scar I cannot find.
[Chorus]
Ottawa, you hold my pain like a cruel embrace,
Where every tear I shed just leaves another trace.
Battles fought in silence, in the dark I crawl,
Fighting for my spirit, haunted by it all.
[Verse 2]
Driving past the punisher, still hear that boy's cries,
Lost in make believe while truth wore a disguise.
She played her twisted games, wore a mask of control,
But the weight of her warfare couldn’t claim my soul.
[Pre-Chorus]
Memories like chains, each link a heavy weight,
Fading into nightmares, I can’t escape my fate.
[Chorus]
Ottawa, you hold my pain like a cruel embrace,
Where every tear I shed just leaves another trace.
Battles fought in silence, in the dark I crawl,
Fighting for my spirit, haunted by it all.
[Bridge]
But I’ll find my way, through these flooded streets,
In the ashes of my past, a strength concealed, it beats.
I’m rising from the shadows, reclaiming who I am,
These scars will tell my story; they won't break me, they’ll stand.
[Chorus]
Ottawa, you hold my pain like a cruel embrace,
Where every tear I shed just leaves another trace.
But battles fought in silence forged a warrior within,
I’m reclaiming my tomorrow, it’s a fight I’m bound to win.
[Outro]
In a town still flooding, I will build my new ground,
Amidst the memories, my voice will be unbound.
