Shadows and Scars

[Verse]
Cold streets biting my heels
No warmth no shield no grace
The sun hides behind steel
Hands cracked and bleeding dust
Dreams turn to ash in the gust
No one to save us from the rust
[Chorus]
Shadows and scars we wear like chains
Bound by the weight of endless pain
Screaming loud but no one hears
Drowning in a sea of fears
[Verse 2]
Concrete forests no escape
Faces blurred in the city's gape
Hope lost in the smog's cape
Silent cries under flickering lights
Torn hearts through endless nights
Fists clenched ready for the fight
[Prechorus]
Every step heavier than the last
Dragging memories of the past
