[Intro]
(Soft piano instrumental)
Whispers in the twilight, shadows start to creep,
Memories in the corners, haunt me in my sleep.
[Verse 1]
This town’s a mirror, reflecting my despair,
Every street I wander, clutching at the air.
Here lies the pain, in every crumbling wall,
I walk through memories, I’m caught in this thrall.
[Pre-Chorus]
I’m a survivor, trying to find my way,
But the ghosts keep calling me, can’t escape the fray.
[Chorus]
I’m a prisoner of the past,
Every shadow cast,
Still I rise, though the nights are long,
With my heart so shattered, I’ll find where I belong.
[Verse 2]
The trailer park whispers, taunts me with the truth,
Innocence stolen, echoes of my youth.
Every friendly face, a mask I can’t ignore,
Digging up the memories, can’t take it anymore.
[Pre-Chorus]
I’ll keep on walking, through the memories that sting,
Finding strength in silence, let the healing begin.
[Chorus]
I’m a prisoner of the past,
Every shadow cast,
Still I rise, though the nights are long,
With my heart so shattered, I’ll find where I belong.
[Bridge]
Questions linger unanswered, like ghosts in the night,
Why choose me for the darkness? Why not let in the light?
I’ll convert this pain to power, I’ll break every chain,
Rise above the ruins, dance in the rain.
[Outro]
So here I stand, foot by foot I reclaim,
This life lived in shadows, who’s once lost is now named.
I’m not just a survivor, I’m learning to thrive,
This journey’s just begun, I’m finally alive.
