Shadows Of Despair

[Verse] In a small, worn-down town, where the shadows grow long, There lived a young boy, just twenty-three years strong, But inside his troubled mind, darkness slowly crept, He carried the weight of his pain, secrets tightly kept. [bridge] Locked in a room, his tears flowed like rain, No one could hear his silent cries of endless pain, A mask he wore so well, hiding his despair, No one knew the torment that he couldn't bear. [Verse 2] He walked the streets alone, with a heaviness in his stride, But nobody stopped to see the sorrow he couldn't hide, Silent screams echoed through his shattered soul, In the depths of the night, his demons took control. [verse] Locked in a room, his tears flowed like rain, No one could hear his silent cries of endless pain, A mask he wore so well, hiding his despair, No one knew the torment that he couldn't bear. [bridge] (oohh-oohh no) (ooh ooh no) [Verse 2] He walked the streets alone, with a heaviness in his stride, But nobody stopped to see the sorrow he couldn't hide, Silent screams echoed through his shattered soul, In the depths of the night, his demons took control.
