Lyrics
[Intro]
[Instrumental]
[Verse 1]
Playground swings, a child's laughter
Fading echoes, world turns darker
Innocence stripped, a life derailed
Behind closed doors, a nightmare unveiled
[Verse 2]
Stolen youth in shadows deep
Where innocence goes to sleep
Chains of fear, unseen and cold
A nightmare story left untold
[Pre-chorus 1]
Whispers in the dark so near
Years of silence, choking fear
Walls closing in, no escape in sight
But freedom calls in dead of night
[Chorus]
Haunted eyes and broken dreams
Nothing's ever what it seems
World outside, a foreign land
Trying to break free from his command
[Drop]
(Silent screams, muffled cries)
(Heart racing, time flies)
(Darkness fades, light breaks through)
(Freedom's cost, paid in youth)
[Verse 3]
Strangers' faces, once-familiar places
Trying to fit in forgotten spaces
Touch brings terror, words bring pain
Learning to be a child again
[Pre-chorus 2]
Memories haunt every dream
Reality tears at the seam
Family's love, once warm and bright
Now feels foreign in the light
[Chorus]
Haunted eyes and broken dreams
Nothing's ever what it seems
World outside, a foreign land
Trying to break free from his command
[Hook]
From the abyss, I crawl
Shattered, but standing tall
[Verse 4]
Piecing together a fractured soul
Trying to make a broken life whole
Each day a battle, each night a war
Fighting demons forevermore
[Pre-chorus 3]
The past still echoes, but growing faint
Future's canvas, a new self to paint
Strength from survival, hope from pain
A phoenix rising from chains
[Chorus 2]
Haunted eyes now see the light
Broken dreams slowly take flight
World outside, no longer strange
Embracing life, ready for change
[Outro]
From the depths of human cruelty
Rises a call for empathy
For every child still trapped in fear
We stand, we fight, we persevere
[Pre-chorus 2]
Memories haunt every dream
Reality tears at the seam
Family's love, once warm and bright
Now feels foreign in the light
[Chorus]
Haunted eyes and broken dreams
Nothing's ever what it seems
World outside, a foreign land
Trying to break free from his command
[Hook]
From the abyss, I crawl
Shattered, but standing tall
[Verse 4]
Piecing together a fractured soul
Trying to make a broken life whole
Each day a battle, each night a war
Fighting demons forevermore
[Pre-chorus 3]
The past still echoes, but growing faint
Future's canvas, a new self to paint
Strength from survival, hope from pain
A phoenix rising from chains
[Chorus 2]
Haunted eyes now see the light
Broken dreams slowly take flight
World outside, no longer strange
Embracing life, ready for change
[Outro]
From the depths of human cruelty
Rises a call for empathy
For every child still trapped in fear
We stand, we fight, we persevere
