Shadows on My Name

Verse 1:

I walk through the halls with my head held low,

They whisper in the corners, they never let me go,

Tangled in the lies that they built on my face,

Chasing their shadows, I can't find my place.

Pre-Chorus:

They point, they judge, they draw the lines,

A mask of truth they can't define,

But they don't know, they don't know me,

I'm not the villain in their fantasy.

Chorus:

I'm a boy trapped in their game,

Living with the weight of their blame,

They don't see the fire, just the chains,

I'm more than the shadows on my name.

Verse 2:

Every word's a bullet, every glance a wound,

They make their assumptions, like I'm doomed,

But deep inside, there's a storm I can't tame,

But they don’t hear it, they're too busy to blame.

Pre-Chorus:

They point, they judge, they draw the lines,

A mask of truth they can't define,

But they don't know, they don't know me,

I'm not the villain in their fantasy.

Chorus:

I'm a boy trapped in their game,

Living with the weight of their blame,

They don't see the fire, just the chains,

I'm more than the shadows on my name.

Bridge:

I’ll rise above their shallow cries,

Break the silence with a thousand lies,

I won't be their prisoner, I'm breaking free,

Watch me burn these chains, you’ll finally see.

Chorus:

I'm a boy trapped in their game,

Living with the weight of their blame,

They don't see the fire, just the chains,

I'm more than the shadows on my name.

Outro:

So let the echoes fade, let the lies fall away,

I’m no longer a shadow, I’ll light my own way.

They can't define who I will be,

The truth is mine, I’m finally free.
