[Intro]
Walking through shadows, masking the pain
A silent scream echoes again
[Verse 1]
Sunday's shadow etched in my mind
A friend pushed too hard, crossed the line
Triggered my past, blindsided my soul
Lost in a flashback, out of control
[Pre-Chorus]
Calling for help in the dead of night
Fighting battles unseen, unseen light
Relearning how to stand on my own
In a world that feels so cold
[Chorus]
Smile on my face, tears in my eyes
Hiding the scars, silent cries
Every step is a fight within
Trying to break free from the pain I'm in
[Verse 2]
He wants to erase what I need to keep
Personal thoughts I must protect and keep
Plans made to keep me safe and sound
Disregard the triggers all around
[Pre-Chorus]
In my own town, a land of storms
Every corner, a new alarm
Held hostage by what I can't escape
Seeking peace in a fractured space
[Chorus]
Smile on my face, tears in my eyes
Hiding the scars, silent cries
Every step is a fight within
Trying to break free from the pain I'm in
[Bridge]
Lost in the echoes of what used to be
Searching for strength inside of me
Breathe in hope, exhale despair
Knowing one day I’ll be somewhere fair
[Outro]
Paint the smile, hide the ache
Step by step, for my own sake
Though the night feels endless, cold
In my heart, I'm growing bold
