More Than Shadows

[Intro]
It’s a twist of the mind, a clash of the heart
Walking a line where worlds fall apart
Hidden behind shadows, a story untold
A soul torn between the dark and the gold

[Verse 1]
They see a monster, they see a fearsome face
But what they don’t know is there's a loving space
Half of me’s raging, the other’s caring deep
Battling two worlds that I silently keep

[Pre-Chorus]
Don’t judge me by the scars, or the monsters in my past
There’s a heartbeat underneath, trying to see through the glass
If you only see the bad, you'll miss the good I contain
Look a little closer, see beyond the pain

[Chorus]
I'm more than a shadow in your doubt
More than the fears you think I shout
Behind the anger, there's a gentle tune
Waiting to bloom beneath the moon
I’m not just evil, I’m a symphony
A mix of tears and empathy
Missed out opportunities to see
The real me in my complexity

[Verse 2]
You think I push away, but I just stand my ground
Seeking truth in the chaos, searching to be found
The world can be unkind, filled with narrow views
But I hold my own, I’ll fight for what’s true

[Pre-Chorus]
If your eyes could see the tears I’ve cried
And the strength I hide inside
Would you understand or let it go?
Or stay and see the real me now?

[Chorus]
I'm more than a shadow in your doubt
More than the fears you think I shout
Behind the anger, there's a gentle tune
Waiting to bloom beneath the moon
I’m not just evil, I’m a symphony
A mix of tears and empathy
Missed out opportunities to see
The real me in my complexity

[Bridge]
Fast and slow, I shift and sway
Emotions brightened, then they fade away
But beneath it all, I stand tall
Facing the world, unafraid to fall

[Outro]
So take a closer look, don’t dismiss so fast
See the whole picture, not just the past
There’s more to me than meets the eye
A loving soul that will never die

Slow and fast tempo with emotional intense vocals, blend of alternative rock and emotional ballad, violin, heavy drums
