Shadows In The Water

Intro
“Can’t… can’t… feel a thing…”

Verse 1
The night falls heavy, it clings to my skin
Whispers of you echo, I can’t let them in
Eyes closed, body still, pretending it’s fine
But inside a storm rages, blurring the line

Pre-Chorus
I learned to quiet the trembling inside
To fold myself small, nowhere to hide
The walls watch me crumble, the mirror looks through
I’m lost in the moments I never chose

Chorus
Shadows in the water, bleeding out slow
I wash and I scrub, but they won’t let go
Numb to the edges, floating in gray
The world moves around me, but I drift away
I’m silent, I’m small, but I survive somehow
Holding on to pieces, I don’t know how

Verse 2
The room hums empty, the clock ticks too loud
I wander in circles, head in a cloud
Hands that once burned me now live in my mind
I trace the patterns, but the warmth I can’t find

Pre-Chorus
I learned to quiet the trembling inside
To fold myself small, nowhere to hide
But even in shadows, a flicker remains
A pulse of resistance, a spark through the pain

Chorus
Shadows in the water, bleeding out slow
I wash and I scrub, but they won’t let go
Numb to the edges, floating in gray
The world moves around me, but I drift away
I’m silent, I’m small, but I survive somehow
Holding on to pieces, I don’t know how

Bridge
I whisper my rage, I whisper my fear
Even if no one ever hears
The water runs dark, but I am awake
I am still here, I will not break

Outro
“Shadows… can’t… can’t take me… I survive…”
