Trapped In Your Shadow

Verse 1
I’m caught inside your spiral, can’t break free
Your hands, your words, they suffocate me
Every day’s a nightmare, walls closing in
The people around me don’t see the sin

They believe your lies, I’m the one they doubt
Trapped in a web I can’t figure out
Your rage escalates, your threats replay
Each breath I take feels like my last day

Pre-Chorus
I scream, I fight, but you’re everywhere
A ghost in my mind, a constant snare
I’m losing pieces of who I was before
And every moment leaves me wanting more

Chorus
I’m trapped in your shadow, can’t find the light
Every corner of my life swallowed by night
You whisper, you threaten, I’m fading inside
I’m screaming for help, but no one’s outside
I won’t give in, I can’t let you win
But the storm you bring rages under my skin

Verse 2
Each day’s a battle, a war with no end
You isolate me from those I depend
They say, “It’s fine, just stay in your place”
But they don’t see the fear on my face

I walk on glass, bleeding unseen
Haunted by shadows where you’ve always been
The harder I fight, the tighter the chain
Every step forward just brings more pain

Pre-Chorus (variation)
I scream, I fight, but I won’t break
Your lies and your anger can’t keep me chained
I’m finding pieces of who I was before
And I know now I deserve much more

Chorus
I’m trapped in your shadow, can’t find the light
Every corner of my life swallowed by night
You whisper, you threaten, I’m fading inside
I’m screaming for help, but no one’s outside
I won’t give in, I can’t let you win
But the storm you bring rages under my skin

Bridge
I have to rise, I have to fight
Even when the darkness feels too tight
Every lie, every scream, every chain you weave
I’ll find a way to finally breathe

Final Chorus
I’m trapped in your shadow, but I’ll break free
Every piece of me will finally see
You can’t control the fire inside
I’ll find my life, I won’t hide
I won’t give in, I won’t let you win
From your shadow, I’ll rise again

Outro
The walls may close, the night may fall
But I’ll stand taller than it all
Your shadow fades as I reclaim my name
No more victim, no more shame
