[Intro]
In a world of shadows, here I stand,
A ghost in the mirror, where no one understands.
Living in silence, a heart full of pain,
Each tear that I shed feels like falling rain.
[Verse 1]
Sixteen years heavy, trapped in a cage,
Walking through hallways, but I've lost my way.
In every smile, there’s a whisper of doubt,
Fighting a battle that I can't talk about.
Mom's voice in my head, but she's far away,
Left with the echoes, of all she would say.
[Pre-Chorus]
And if I could show, the depths of my soul,
Would you see the cracks, would you make me whole?
But I wear a mask, painted anger today,
Hiding the sorrow that won't go away.
[Chorus]
Oh, I wish I could be, the light in your eyes,
Instead of this darkness that fills me with lies.
Crying alone, under blankets of night,
Praying for courage to keep up the fight.
[Verse 2]
In silent corners, I bury my dreams,
Every thought drips like the softest of screams.
Battles within, they’re raging unseen,
My heart's a canvas, smeared with the green.
Every glance thrown, every whisper and stare,
Leaves scars on my spirit, burdened with despair.
[Pre-Chorus]
And if I could show, the depths of my soul,
Would you see the cracks, would you make me whole?
But I walk this path, shrouded in fear,
Praying for daylight, that never comes near.
[Chorus]
Oh, I wish I could be, the light in your eyes,
Instead of this darkness that fills me with lies.
Crying alone, under blankets of night,
Praying for courage to keep up the fight.
[Bridge]
Will the sun rise again, will I make it to dawn?
With heaviness gripping, I just feel so withdrawn.
Weeping to sleep, with dreams that feel dead,
These thoughts that I battle, they fill me with dread.
[Outro]
So here’s to the fight, to the hope I hold tight,
To the whispers of love that can still shed some light.
Though I'm lost in this storm, I’m still searching for me,
Hop for courage to keep up the fight.
[Verse 2]
In silent corners, I bury my dreams,
Every thought drips like the softest of screams.
Battles within, they’re raging unseen,
My heart's a canvas, smeared with the green.
Every glance thrown, every whisper and stare,
Leaves scars on my spirit, burdened with despair.
[Pre-Chorus]
And if I could show, the depths of my soul,
Would you see the cracks, would you make me whole?
But I walk this path, shrouded in fear,
Praying for daylight, that never comes near.
[Chorus]
Oh, I wish I could be, the light in your eyes,
Instead of this darkness that fills me with lies.
Crying alone, under blankets of night,
Praying for courage to keep up the fight.
[Bridge]
Will the sun rise again, will I make it to dawn?
With heaviness gripping, I just feel so withdrawn.
Weeping to sleep, with dreams that feel dead,
These thoughts that I battle, they fill me with dread.
[Outro]
So here’s to the fight, to the hope I hold tight,
To the whispers of love that can still shed some light.
Though I'm lost in this storm, I’m still searching for me,
Hoping someday, this pain will set me free.
