Shadows I Keep

[Intro]
Whispers in the shadows, secrets I can't show
Living in the unknown, a story only I know

[Verse 1]
Masked and moving silent, shadows in my wake
Walking on a tightrope, every step a risk I take
Hiding what is real, wearing my disguise
Lost between the worlds, caught in my own lies

[Pre-Chorus]
Balancing the truth, behind the curtain low
Happiness I fake, truth I’ll never show
Treading carefully, a secret life I keep
Living in the gray, while I’re pretending to sleep

[Chorus]
Living in the unknown, doing what they’ll never see
A double life I lead, just to set myself free
Keep the world at arm’s length, protect my fragile soul
Hiding what’s within, trying to stay whole

[Bridge]
Nothing’s black or white, only shades in between
Running from the past, chasing a dream unseen
Holding onto secrets, that I’ll never tell
Living in the shadows, where I hide myself

[Outro]
Living in the unknown, just a ghost in the night
Hiding all my truth, out of sight, out of light
Living in the unknown, doing what I must
A life concealed, hiding my own trust
