[Verse 1]
Little boy, heart caged, house a warzone,
Fifteen years of whispers through a cracked phone.
Daddy's fist, mama's tears, broken bone,
Dreams drowned in the sound of a loud moan.
Ghosts in the closet, they ain't even hiding,
Bruises on his soul, ain't no use in confiding.
He drew maps on the walls with his own fears,
Each mark a scar, each tick fifteen years.
[Chorus]
Fifteen years, shadows creeping,
Fifteen years, the boy ain't sleeping.
But one day, that weight snapped back,
The scared child gone—it's the boy who fought back.
[Verse 2]
Kitchen light flicker, shattered plate choir,
Silent screams echo like a church on fire.
He learned to duck, to flinch, to pretend,
The war never stopped, just looped, no end.
Mama said hush, boy, don’t make it worse,
But the silence hit harder than his daddy’s curse.
Nightmares danced where his dreams should play,
Hope packed a bag, and it ran away.
[Pre-Chorus]
But one day, one crack in the floor,
One spark, one match, one open door.
