Redemption's Shadow

[Verse]
Woke up in the ruins, ashes in my lungs
Kept the world at bay, played the strings unsung
Built walls so high, couldn't climb back down
Caged in my mind, king of a ghost town
Fists clenched, I fought with my own reflection
Ran from the truth, lost in my own direction
Every night a war, every dawn a curse
Prayers unheard, thought the pain reversed
[Prechorus]
But shadows stretch long, even when the sun fades
Somewhere in the dark, found the steps I mislaid
[Chorus]
Redemption's shadow, it follows me slow
Through the fire and the cold, where the lost souls go
I was blind, I was numb, couldn't feel, couldn't run
But I’m finding the light, after losing the sun
[Verse 2]
Every hand that reached, I slapped it away
Thought love was a lie, just a debt to pay
But the echoes spoke, whispered my name
Told me guilt ain't a shackle, it's part of the flame
Drifted through nights where the streetlights wept
Heavy eyes, no dreams, just the secrets I kept
But even broken glass catches light in the rain
Every shard a story, every cut my pain
