Shadows Within

[Verse]
Mom watched the wreck as the silence grew loud,
Defended their sins as I shattered unproud.
Bruises invisible, scars in my soul,
Trust hit the pavement, they'll never be whole.
[Chorus]
She guarded the thieves that took what was mine,
Memories ruined, a clock out of time.
These wounds, they scream under midnight skies,
Anger binds me; forgiveness denies.
[Verse 2]
Each word she chose felt cold, untrue,
Void in the mirror; I see right through.
Her silence was smoke, it thickens the air,
Call it betrayal, call it despair.
[Bridge]
They dressed in shadows, cloaked in my grief,
Lies in their pockets, they're the thieves of belief.
Her shield wasn’t for me; she turned her gaze,
Lost in this misty maze of their plays.
[Chorus]
She guarded the thieves that took what was mine,
Memories ruined, a clock out of time.
These wounds, they scream under midnight skies,
Anger binds me; forgiveness denies.
[Outro]
Mom, you stood where I needed you 'gainst,
For them, your warmth; for me, the fence.
Silent echoes, they haunt my veins,
The child in me questions, repeats the pain.
