[Intro]
Whispers in the dark, asking who I am
Lost in the shadows, trying to understand
[Verse 1]
I can't help but wonder, am I your child or your prize?
A silent question hanging in the skies
Am I a melody you play on strings so tight?
Or simply a stone carved out of sight?
[Pre-Chorus]
I'm just a shadow, pulled along in your wake
A reflection of a dream, a truth too opaque
A constellation, paraded, a trophy on display
A visual reminder that you claim to say
[Chorus]
Am I just an object, hopes and dreams discarded?
An item expected, your expectations they’ve guarded
Am I your child or just a prize?
A reason to look, a reason to despise?
[Verse 2]
Fading into nothing, lacking meaning or size
Hopes and fears tied to your disguise
I am your mirror, your unattainable dream
The figure you fashion, or so it seems
[Pre-Chorus]
I’m not your daughter, not your flesh and blood
Carrying your hopes like a flood
A constellation, dusted, hidden away
Something to be dusted off one day
[Chorus]
Am I just an object, hopes and dreams discarded?
An item expected, your expectations they’ve guarded
Am I your child or just a prize?
A reason to look, a reason to despise?
[Bridge]
Should I stop dreaming, should I hold back hope?
Living without you, how do I cope?
Jailer or mother, who holds the key?
Who am I meant to be?
[Outro]
Whispers fade into silence, questions remain
Searching for myself in the shadow's domain
