Shadows in Her Smile

Soft as a whisper, gentle as rain,

A fragile echo, hiding pain.

Smile in shadows, innocence gleams,

Hiding secrets behind sunbeams.

Golden hair and sparkling eyes,

But beneath them, silent cries.

Playing sweet, a perfect tune,

Masking darkness, hiding gloom.

Oh, but shadows start to creep,

Into her soul they seep.

What’s this darkness she hides?

A truth that she confides.

Sweet little girl, what do you see?

Mirror of darkness inside of me.

Feeding the fire with every smile,

Lost in the darkness, mile by mile.

Laughter ringing, crystal clear,

But echoes of something darker near.

A subtle shift, a wicked grin,

Where innocence has been worn thin.

Hear the whispers, growling low,

Secrets that she doesn’t show.

Turning tides, a twisted hue,

A warning sign, a clue.

Sweet little girl, what do you see?

Mirror of darkness inside of me.

Feeding the fire with every smile,

Lost in the darkness, mile by mile.

(Heavy riffs, soaring guitars, harmonies layered)

Guitar solo: Fast, intense, fiery riffs, echoing despair and chaos.

Darkness consumes, no escape,

A sinister shape, a deadly drape.

From innocence to wrath,

The darkness hath its path.

Now the sweet turns to scream,

Nothing’s as it seems.

In the shadows, she resides,

Darkness in her eyes.
