Echoes of You

(Verse 1)
The silence screams where your voice used to roar,
And every slammed door, echoes to my core.
I flinch at shadows, that dance across the night,
Each gentle touch, a ghost of your cruel might.

(Verse 2)
The mirror shows a stranger, worn and thin,
A map of old battles, etched deep within.
Your words replay, a twisted lullaby,
"You're nothing," they whisper, as my spirit starts to die.

(Chorus)
You built a cage of fear, I can't escape,
These phantom chains, they bind me to your shape.
The world's a threat, a man's a loaded gun,
My trust is shattered, my new life's barely begun.

(Bridge)
They say "move on," "forget the pain,"
But how do I erase, the acid rain?
The nightmares come, a brutal, nightly show,
Where your hands still grasp, and your cruel words still flow

(Verse 3)
I walk the streets, a ghost among the crowd,
Each passing glance, a scream inside, aloud.
Their laughter's foreign, a distant, hollow sound,
I'm trapped inside my head, on broken ground.

(Verse 4)
My bed's a battlefield, where sleep won't come,
My body's tense, my senses numb.
The darkness holds you, in its cruel embrace,
You're gone, but still I see your face.

(Chorus)
You built a cage of fear, I can't escape,
These phantom chains, they bind me to your shape.
The world's a threat, a man's a loaded gun,
My trust is shattered, my new life's barely begun.

(Outro)
A flicker of defiance, in my weary eyes,
I'll learn to breathe again, beneath these skies.
The scars remain, a story to be told,
I'll rise from ashes, brave and strong and bold.
