(Verse 1 – Shadows)
Shadows of doubt___
They don’t believe us
Why do______
They not believe us
We need to tell the truth, but they ignore us
While shadows of doubt swirl around us_____________
(Verse 2 – Violet & Raven)
(Violet)
They see our scars, not our fight
They see the wrong, not what’s right
They hear the lies, not our cries
They turn away, while we try
(Raven)
I reached for light, but they shut the door
Told me I’m evil, nothing more
But I’ve seen hope, I’ve felt the flame
Still they only speak my name in shame
(Bridge – All Shadows)
We’re not the monsters in your tale
We’re not the ones who always fail
We’re just kids with broken dreams
Trying to stitch up all the seams
(Chorus – All Shadows)
Shadows of doubt, clouding the sky
We scream the truth, but they pass us by
We’re more than the names they call
We’re not villains after all
(Verse 3 – Raven & Violet)
(Raven)
She says I’m chosen, says I’m strong
But what if following her is wrong?
She gave me power, She gave me pain
She told me love was just a chain
(Violet)
She calls us villains, says we’re brave
But all she wants is what she craves
She never asked what we believe
Only what we’re meant to achieve
(Both)
We’re torn between the dark and the light
Between what’s wrong and what feels right
She raised us up, but held us down
Now we’re surrounded by shadows of doubt
(Raven)
I want to fight, but not her war
(Violet)
I want to shine, not hurt anymore
(Both)
But shadows of doubt still cloud our way
Will they ever hear what we have to say?
(Jasper)
I learned to steal before I could read
Taught that taking was all I'd ever need
They said, “Power comes from what you claim”
So I took and I took and I never felt shame
(Ace)
I learned to lie just to survive
No one believed me, no matter how I tried
So I twisted the truth to make it fit
Till I forgot what was real in it
(Both)
We were shaped by hands that never cared
Raised in the shadows, unprepared
But now we’re standing in the light
Trying to make the wrong things right
(Outro – Raven, softly)
If only they’d look and see
The light that lives inside of me
Shadows of doubt, they haunt our way
But we’ll break through them… someday
