[Intro]
Whispers in the shadows, tears in the night,
A heavy heart, lost in the fight.
[Verse 1]
Waking up to echoes, haunting in my mind,
The weight of the darkness, it feels so unkind.
Questions in the corners, running laps in my head,
Reliving the moments, a tapestry of dread.
Why does the silence scream, louder than a shout?
A burden deep inside, it churns me about.
[Pre-Chorus]
A voice inside whispers, "You're not alone,"
Yet every step forward, feels like stone.
[Chorus]
Why me, Lord, what’s the lesson here?
When every day feels like I battle my fear.
Why live this life, heavy with the pain?
Searching for sunshine while I’m caught in the rain.
[Verse 2]
Stigmas and stories, they linger and haunt,
As male victim shadows are what they don't want.
Invisible scars, they shape who I am,
In a world that doubts me, I’m lost like a lamb.
Told to be silent, to carry the shame,
But here in the darkness, I’m still feeling flame.
[Pre-Chorus]
Momentum feels cruel, it drags me so low,
But the fire inside me starts to glow.
[Chorus]
Why me, Lord, what’s the lesson here?
When every day feels like I battle my fear.
Why live this life, heavy with the pain?
Searching for sunshine while I’m caught in the rain.
[Bridge]
Can I rise from this sorrow? Can I heal from the fight?
With every dawn breaking, inching toward light.
The weight on my shoulder, it’s heavy, but true,
I’m not just a victim, I’m building anew.
[Chorus]
Why me, Lord, what’s the lesson here?
When every day feels like I battle my fear.
I’ll live this life, heavy but brave,
Finding my strength, I’ll learn how to save.
[Outro]
So why me? Maybe I’m destined to grow,
From the ashes of pain, resilience will show.
I’m more than my burdens, I carry a fight,
One step at a time, I’ll rise to the light.
