Broken Strings of Custody

[Verse]
She stole my Sundays
Left me with rain
Tore my name apart
Tied it to her chain
Her smile’s a dagger
Her words are a trap
She’s the queen of the courtroom
I’m the rat in the gap
[Prechorus]
She twists the truth
Like smoke in the air
The kids caught in the middle
She don’t care
[Chorus]
She plays the kids like broken strings
Twisting lies
Pulling my wings
Jealousy burns
Her weapon of choice
I’m screaming in silence
She drowns out my voice
[Verse 2]
Her laughter echoes
Sharp as a blade
A currency of chaos
The games she played
Corruption in shadows
Justice sold
Her heart’s an icebox
Her love’s long cold
[Bridge]
She’s a ghost in the mirror
A shadow in my head
I’m alive in her fire
But I feel half-dead
The law’s got blind eyes
The gavel’s gone numb
And my kids call her saint
While I’m the scum
[Chorus]
She plays the kids like broken strings
Twisting lies
Pulling my wings
Jealousy burns
Her weapon of choice
I’m screaming in silence
She drowns out my voice
