Lurking shadows

(Verse 1) We used to run and play, underneath the summer sun, (For some kids, it wasn't fun) Shadows made them disappear, (They drowned with fear.) (Chorus) In this story a nightmares dwell. Who was left behind, there's no another day. Not a summertime but the hell. Beneath the laughter and the silent sway. (Verse 2) They longed to join the games we played. (They faced another wrong.) Innocence was shattered, by words like a knives, (They carried scars their whole lives.) (Chorus) In this story a nightmares dwell. Who was left behind, there's no another day. Not a summertime but the hell. Beneath the laughter and the silent sway. (Bridge) Tears fell like rain, unseen by most eyes, Pain buried deep, beneath summer skies. Though their voices were muted, spirits cried out, Nobody to listen, to hear their doubt. (Chorus) In this story a nightmares dwell. Who was left behind, there's no another day. Not a summertime but the hell. Beneath the laughter and the silent sway. (Verse 4) Years passed by, their memories faded, (Scars remained, their hearts still shaded.) Tried to move on, leave past behind, (Echoes of torment lingered in their mind.) (Outro) (Not a summertime but the hell. Beneath the laughter and the silent sway.)
