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
⸻
