Behind the wall

Cornered by rules, nowhere to sit

A quiet life where love didn’t fit

He wore his sins like second skin

Sundays with Mom, then back to pretend

CHORUS

Behind these walls, I cry alone

Haunted by a face that feels like home

Trapped inside all I've outgrown

Can’t outrun the ghosts I’ve called home

VERSE 2

Shadows flicker, voices in my head

Painted smiles for words I left unsaid

My father's ghost still claws the past

Whispers of shame that always last

CHORUS

Behind these walls, I cry alone

Haunted by a face that feels like home

Trapped inside all I've outgrown

Can’t outrun the ghosts I’ve called home

VERSE 3

I tried to speak, but no one heard

Choked by silence, crushed by words

Raised in corners, taught to stand

No seat, no love—just the back of a hand

CHORUS

Behind these walls, I cry alone

Haunted by a face that feels like home

Trapped inside all I've outgrown

Can’t outrun the ghosts I’ve called home

BRIDGE

The weight of years, too much to bear

Drowning in a room with no one there

But in my dreams, the shadows break

And light pours in for healing’s sake

VERSE 4

I walk alone through night’s embrace

No guiding stars, no familiar face

A ghost in fog, I fade away

A fleeting thought in skies of gray

VERSE 5

I traced the grain on that wooden wall

Stood there frozen, scared to fall

Each splintered line, a muted scream

A child lost deep inside a dream

VERSE 6

But I’m not the shame he left in me

I’m more than scars or history

Piece by piece, I find my flame

And rise from silence, not the same

FINAL CHORUS

Beyond these walls, I breathe again

No longer bound by where I’ve been

I face the storm, I stand alone—

But free at last from ghosts called home

OUTRO

And walls will fall, and stars will rise

I’ll break the chains and clear my skies

Within my chest, a fire ignites—

A new beginning where love takes flight
