Whispers in the Shadows

Hidden in the walls, a family nest But now it's just survival, a feral test [Pre-Chorus] Cravings took control, a primal need In the darkness, no one heard that final plead [Chorus] Gnawing at the edges, a bond that breaks Fading squeaks echo, with each choice he makes [Verse 1] Was it the hunger in your tiny eyes? A nibble turned to feast, a shocking surprise Tiny paws and whiskers stained with regret One less in the nest, an act to forget [Verse 2] You scurry 'cross the kitchen, guilt in your trail Your brother, your dinner, a grim little tale [Pre-Chorus] Who knew the smallest hearts could turn so cold? Betrayal in the crumbs, a story untold [Chorus] You were more than just a sibling, a friend so true But hunger made a monster, a shadow out of you [Verse 3] In the silence of the night, a squeak resounds A sorrow buried deep, in tiny mounds You clean your coat, but can't wash the past In your eyes, a glint of regret to the last [Pre-Chorus] Who would guess, in fields of cheese you'd roam Still longing for the warmth of your bygone home
