Shadows In The Hall

Verse 1
I walk these halls, invisible, unheard,
Fading into laughter, my voice blurred.
Every step feels heavy, every grin feels wrong,
A shadow in the chaos, trying to be strong.

Verse 2
I laugh too loud, I join their games,
Change my hair, my clothes, still it’s the same.
A glance that lingers just a little too long,
The girl behind the quiet, where I belong.

Pre-Chorus
I want to be seen, I want to belong,
Hiding pieces I’ve kept too long.
Pretending I’m fine in the pouring rain,
Hoping for a spark, a hand, a glance again.

Chorus
Just another face, lost in the swirl,
Trying to be seen in this spinning world.
Maybe someone sees past the disguise,
The real me hiding behind these eyes.
I’m here, I’m real, can’t you see?
There’s more to me than the world lets be.

Verse 3
The girls all shine, perfect and bright,
I mimic, I follow, still it’s not right.
The one who’s silent, trying not to drown,
Hiding the me that nobody knows around.

Chorus
Just another face, lost in the swirl,
Trying to be seen in this spinning world.
Maybe someone sees past the disguise,
The real me hiding behind these eyes.
I’m here, I’m real, can’t you see?
There’s more to me than the world lets be.

Bridge
Every laugh I fake, every step I take,
Feels like the ground is about to break.
But in a single glance, I feel it start,
Someone sees the truth beneath my heart.

Chorus
Just another face, lost in the swirl,
Trying to be seen in this spinning world.
Maybe someone sees past the disguise,
The real me hiding behind these eyes.
I’m here, I’m real, can’t you see?
I don’t know yet, but maybe someday,
They’ll find me here, and I won’t fade away.

Outro
Shadows in the hall, I’m breaking free,
Not just a shadow — finally me.
