[Verse 1 - Alternative Rock, clean vocals]
I remember the look in your eyes, you are soulless...
You built a whole world where I was the storm and you were the solace...
Every whispered confession, every tear you let fall.
Was a line in the script where you made me the monster for all.
[Pre-Chorus - Building intensity]
But the light is changing now, the shadows are fading away.
And the ground beneath your fabricated pedestal is starting to sway.
You played the victim, you wore the crown of thorns so well.
While you buried the truth deep down in your self-constructed hell.
[Chorus - Melodic Metalcore, powerful soaring vocals]
Oh, you were the Shadow Architect of your own disgrace.
I wore the villain's mask just to hide the poison and leave no trace.
You pointed the finger, you burned the evidence to the ground.
But the reflection staring back, finally shows who made the sound.
The silence is deafening, and my life will never be the same. The damage you inflicted, it's etched into my very name.
[Verse 2 - Alternative Rock/Post-Hardcore, gritty edge]
I took the blame for so long, let the hate become my shroud.
Thought if I suffered loudly, it would keep your secret out of the crowd.
But every lie you told me, every scar you left behind.
Is a twisted blueprint of your desperate, fractured mind.
The walls came down so quickly, with a devastating, silent roar.
The innocent you claimed to be is knocking on my door no more.
You thought you could escape this. Your pain was a cheap excuse.
The truth is a tidal wave, it's washing away all your abuse. I’m left here in the rubble, breathing in the dust you made.
Just a shell of the person I was before your masquerade...
[Melodic Metalcore, full power, double-tracked vocals]
Oh, you were the Shadow Architect of your own disgrace.
I wore the villain's mask just to hide the poison and leave no trace.
You pointed the finger, you burned the evidence to the ground.
But the reflection staring back finally shows who made the sound.
The silence is deafening, and my life will never be the same. The damage you inflicted, it's etched into my very name.
[Outro - Clean/Soft fading music]
Will I ever find the sunlight again?
Will I ever find the person I was then?
This new path is shattered, the direction is unclear...I don't know how to start over...I'm still paralyzed by fear.
[Music fades to a single, sustained guitar note]
