Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse 1 - quiet, tense] Footsteps echo in my head Words I never really said Every corner of this room Knows the shape of my old wounds Lights are on but I’m not here Breathing in recycled fear I play alive, I play composed But something underneath is closed ⸻ [Pre-Chorus - rising] I fade where no one goes Smile so no one knows ⸻ [Chorus — heavy, emotional lift] I live in the shadows Where nobody sees Where I bury the parts That are breaking in me I move like a ghost Through the life that I chose I’m loud in my head But I’m quiet in the shadows ⸻ [Verse 2] Every mirror knows the lie I wear someone else’s eyes Every “I’m okay” I say Pushes who I am away Walls I built to stay intact Now just hold the panic back I disappear in plain sight Just to make it through the night ⸻ [Pre-Chorus] I fade where no one goes Smile so no one knows ⸻ [Chorus] I live in the shadows Where nobody sees Where I bury the parts That are breaking in me I move like a ghost Through the life that I chose I’m loud in my head But I’m quiet in the shadows ⸻ [Bridge — stripped back, almost whispered] If I step into the light Will I fall apart in sight? If they see behind my eyes Will I lose my safe disguise? [band swells back in] ⸻ [Final Chorus — bigger, desperate] I live in the shadows But I’m starting to see There’s a voice in the dark Still reaching for me I move like a ghost But I’m learning to show The parts I kept hidden Down in the shadows ⸻ [Outro: instrumental fade, echo of “shadows”]
