[Verse 1 – (Soft, Melancholic Start)]
They tell me strength is silent pain,
A burden carried in the rain.
A soldier’s heart, a statue’s face,
Left to suffer, left in place.
They take my love, but not my name,
They see the fight, but not the flame.
A house of glass, a life on loan,
Surrounded, yet I’m still alone.
⸻
[Chorus – (Hauntingly Powerful)]
Am I just a shadow, lost in time?
A hollow echo, past my prime?
A burning bridge, a fading sound,
A missing piece they never found.
Invisible when I can’t be strong…
But I’ve been breaking all along.
⸻
[Verse 2 – (Deeper, Anguished Tone)]
They call it love, but leave me bare,
Expect the world, but never care.
A weary soul, a dying sun,
A war I fight, yet never won.
If I stand tall, they turn away,
If I should fall, I’m left to stay—
Alone in silence, stuck in place,
A shattered dream they can’t replace.
⸻
[Chorus – (Dark Harmonies, More Intense)]
Am I just a shadow, lost in time?
A hollow echo, past my prime?
A burning bridge, a fading sound,
A missing piece they never found.
Invisible when I can’t be strong…
But I’ve been breaking all along.
⸻
[Bridge – (Soft, Almost Whispered Before the Climax)]
I scream, but no one hears the sound…
They stand and watch me hit the ground.
If love was real, where did it go?
Or was it just for show…?
(Pause… before final chorus builds up with heavy instrumentals.)
⸻
[Final Chorus – (Raw Emotion, Full Power)]
Am I just a shadow, lost in time?
A hollow echo, past my prime?
A burning bridge, a fading sound,
A missing piece they never found.
Invisible when I can’t be strong…
But I’ve been breaking all along.
⸻
[Outro – (Soft, Almost a Whisper)]
They never ask, they never see…
The weight of all that’s left of me.
I fade to dust, I slip away…
A broken man… they’ll never save.
