Chains of Reflection

[Intro]
Underneath the moon's cold gaze, I'm standing still, I'm lost in haze

[Verse 1]
They whisper lies like wildfire, burnin' through my skin
Insecurities they wield, like chains I can't begin
To break free, to run away, yet here I stand today
Feeling small, feeling used, in the darkness I betray

[Pre-Chorus]
Why can't I walk away, why do I stay?
Caught in this storm, can't find my way
What's wrong with me, I cry silently
In this lonely fight, longing to be free

[Chorus]
Hold me close, but still I feel so far
Their words cut deep, like a scar
I know I shouldn't care, but I can't ignore
This haunted soul, crying out for more

[Verse 2]
Mirror's my enemy, reflecting fears I hide
Built these walls so high, can't see the truth inside
They've made me feel unworthy, like I never mattered
But deep within, I know the truth, I'm battered but not shattered

[Pre-Chorus]
Why can't I walk away, why do I stay?
Caught in this storm, can't find my way
What's wrong with me, I cry silently
In this lonely fight, longing to be free

[Chorus]
Hold me close, but still I feel so far
Their words cut deep, like a scar
I know I shouldn't care, but I can't ignore
This haunted soul, crying out for more

[Bridge]
Maybe some day I'll find my light
Break these chains in the dead of night
Until then, I'll bear the pain
Searching for hope in the endless rain

[Outro]
In the silence, I will stand
Trying to find who I am
Though they used my fears as art
I'll heal this broken, battered heart
