Original Lyrics by J.Lynn
In the glow of the moonlit skies, you wore a mask so bright,
Whispers of friendship danced on the edge of night.
Promises like glass, they shattered with a grin,
You played your part so well, but where do I begin?
I gave you my trust like an open book,
But all you ever wanted was a chance to take a look.
Behind those painted smiles and hollow laughs,
You cut me deep with your daggered words and broken paths.
Oh, I thought you were my friend; I was blind to see the truth.
But now I'm standing here alone—lost in this empty booth.
No love in your heart, just a game that you play,
With shadows in the spotlight stealing hope away.
Every promise made felt like chains around my soul,
You feigned affection while digging for control.
Loneliness is heavy when it’s draped in deceit,
A jester's crown on your head as you dance to my defeat.
Your laughter echoes cruelly through these haunted halls of pain,
Where loyalty's just ashes washed away by rain.
You’re laughing with your crew while I'm drowning in despair—
A puppet on a string—did you ever really care?
Oh, I thought you were my friend; now it's clear as day to me—
Just puppets playing games beneath this twisted canopy.
No heart behind those eyes; just shadows leading stray—
With whispers full of venom stealing light away.
But I'll rise from these ashes; I'll break free from this cage,
I'll burn down every bridge built on falsehoods and rage.
The scars may tell my story—a tale of trust betrayed—
But outcast or not—I’ll find strength through the fray!
Oh, I thought you were my friend; now it's clear as day to me—
Just puppets playing games beneath this twisted canopy.
No heart behind those eyes; just shadows leading stray—
With whispers full of venom stealing light away.
Oh, I thought you were my friend; now I've learned the bitter cost—
In this arena filled with wolves—all that’s gained is what’s lost.
So keep your hollow promises; they won’t haunt me today—
I'm done playing your game—I’m reclaiming my way!
So take your shadows with you; they won't linger long here—
I've found the light within me through each doubt and fear.
Once lost but never broken; I'll carve out my own space—
With every step toward freedom—I’ll leave behind disgrace!
