In The Shadows

(Intro – Flüstern)

I watched the world pass me by

Behind the veil, behind the lie

(Verse 1)

Lights flicker, but they don’t reach me

Their words echo – they never teach me

I walk these streets, unseen, unknown

But silence carved my name in stone

(Pre-Chorus)

I don’t need their blaze or crown

The night lifts me, won’t let me drown

(Chorus)

Standing in the shadows – I breathe, I burn

Every wound a lesson, every scar a turn

Let them shine in glory, I’ll stay low

But from the darkness – I still glow

(Verse 2)

They chased the sun, feared the fall

But I embraced the quiet call

No spotlight, no grand parade

Just truth in the echoes I’ve made

(Bridge)

I’m not broken – I’m rebuilt

In the quiet, I found my guilt

Then let it go, let it fade

Now I stand – not afraid

(Final Chorus)

Standing in the shadows – where I belong

I hum my truth, a silent song

They never saw me, never knew

But in the dark – I became true
