The Weight of Shadows

[Verse] Hallways full of empty faces Burdened dreams and unseen traces Chasing something never landed Future’s heavy handed stranded [Verse 2] Teachers’ eyes like knifes are cutting Grades are chains our minds corrupted Fitting into squares and angles No escape from these school shackles [Chorus] Pressure builds can't breathe can't move Climbing walls with nothing to prove Whispers loud in crowded spaces We're just numbers nameless faces [Verse 3] Tests and scores keep haunting sleeping Voices cracking always creeping Who we are beneath the mask Hidden truths in every task [Chorus] Pressure builds can't breathe can't move Climbing walls with nothing to prove Whispers loud in crowded spaces We're just numbers nameless faces [Bridge] Dreams of freedom waiting lurking Behind those gates we're still hurting Wanna shout can't find the sound In this mess we all drown
