[Verse]
Shadows in the hallway, mama cryin' nightly
Dad’s fists in the air, his temper ain't lightly
Kids cryin', tryna hide from the beast
Hunger in their bellies, can't remember the last feast
[Verse 2]
School's no refuge, bullies lurkin' in the halls
Snickers from the sidelines, pressed against the walls
Bruises on my arm, like Dad's wrath ain’t enough
Life’s a constant battle, always living rough
[Chorus]
Fighting through the tears, life ain't nothing but scars
Wishing on some dreams, but they feel too far
Lonely in the dark, only shadows as friends
Hope is just a flicker, where the pain never ends
[Verse 3]
Home ain't safe, it's a battlefield with blood
Arguments exploding, voices drown in the flood
Dad's breath stinks of liquor, aggression in his veins
Moments of peace, always shadowed by the pains
[Verse 4]
Can’t count the nights, sleepin' on a cold floor
Locked doors, tryin' to block out the war
Mama's eyes, haunted, full of silent pleas
Dad’s rage, like an unending disease
[Chorus]
Fighting through the tears, life ain't nothing but scars
Wishing on some dreams, but they feel too far
Lonely in the dark, only shadows as friends
Hope is just a flicker, where the pain never ends
