Original Lyrics by J.Lynn
Mirror shows a stranger with eyes that tell no lies,
Once vibrant and alive now dimmed beneath the skies.
I wear this mask of laughter; it’s cracking at the seams,
But nobody sees the battles fought behind these silent screams. (screams)
Oh, the weight of every tear feels heavy on my soul,
Searching for a reason when I’ve lost all control.
I’m just a shadow in the dark, fading out of sight,
A heart that’s screaming softly for someone to ignite.
Drowning in this silence where hope is hard to find,
Just another broken dream trapped inside my mind. (mind)
In the silence of my room, echoes whisper low,
Like a candle flickering, battling the undertow.
Walls are closing in, I’m drowning in this night,
Wrestling with my demons, can’t seem to find the light. (light)
Each breath feels like a struggle; I’m lost within my maze,
Chasing after daylight while I'm locked inside this haze.
I’m just a shadow in the dark, fading out of sight,
A heart that’s screaming softly for someone to ignite.
Drowning in this silence where hope is hard to find,
Just another broken dream trapped inside my mind. (mind)
Loneliness wraps around me like an old familiar friend—
Whispers echo memories that never seem to end.
But maybe there’s redemption hidden somewhere deep within;
Through cracks and shattered pieces lies a chance for me to mend.
I’m just a shadow in the dark but I’ll rise again someday—
With every tear I shed I’ll pave another way.
Dancing through this darkness till I feel that spark inside—
No longer just existing; I will—I will survive! (survive)
So here’s to every heartbeat that's weathered every storm—
For each lonely hour spent waiting to be reborn.
These shadows may surround me but they won’t steal my fight—
Out from under darkness into tomorrow's light. (light)
"These shadows may surround me but they won’t steal my fight—
Out from under darkness into tomorrow's light."
