[Intro]
In the shadows where silence screams,
A heart caught in broken dreams.
Blind eyes see but fail to know,
The dark is where the pain does grow.
[Verse 1]
I walked a line, a path of shame,
A felon's life, they play their game.
But where's the justice for a soul in chains?
When violence breeds, who really reigns?
The echoes haunt like whispers low,
The pain I felt, they’ll never show.
[Pre-Chorus]
Tried to reach out, arms wide and breaking,
But the walls I faced, they kept on shaking.
Lost my voice beneath their chatter,
While my heart just ached, my life grew scattered.
[Chorus]
Oh, stand with me, in the night so deep,
When I’m crying for help, they demand I keep
My silence locked, behind their cold, harsh doors,
I scream for the child, for truth to restore.
[Verse 2]
Underneath the watchful eyes, they turned away,
Couldn't see the monster in the light of day.
Obsessed with innocence, a hunter's delight,
The past behind me felt so contrite.
[Pre-Chorus]
Shouts unheard, a downward spiral,
Fighting chains wrapped tight like a bridal.
They just sit on their agenda, hearts of stone,
While whispers of danger are overthrown.
[Chorus]
Oh, stand with me, in the night so deep,
When I’m crying for help, they demand I keep
My silence locked, behind their cold, harsh doors,
I scream for the child, for truth to restore.
[Bridge]
Raise your voice, break the echoes of shame,
We’ll shine a light on this twisted game.
Together we’ll fight, together we’ll rise,
No longer will silence be our disguise.
[Outro]
So here I stand, with scars that I bear,
Tired of being unseen, of frozen air.
The fight for the voiceless shall never cease,
In the darkness, I’ll seek my peace.
