Echoes of a Shadow

[Verse 1] In this room, the walls close in, Painting shadows on my skin. Faces pass, their eyes glide by, Never care to know why I sigh. Whispers lost in silent cries, Empty laughs, life's disguise. Reflections in the mirror lie, The person there, I don't recognize. [Verse 2] Crowded streets, I walk alone, Voices blend, a monotone. No one sees the mask that grins, Hiding a soul that's paper-thin. Drifting through this muted play, Parts I act but never say. Connections fade before they tie, Inside this shell, emotions die. [Chorus] Do you see me, or just my shadow? Living in echoes, where no one follows. Numb to the touch of day or night, Invisible in the blinding light. [Bridge] Underneath the surface, there’s a storm, Winds that scream and rains that mourn. But up above, it’s just serene, A storm unseen, a silent scream. [GETS HEAVY] [guitar solo] [Verse 3] Strangers' eyes, they pierce through me, But not the depths where secrets flee. Am I the ghost within their glance? A fleeting thought, a missed chance. Every heartbeat screams a plea, "Look beyond, and you might see..." The echoes of my whispered grief, A soul that yearns for just one brief... [Chorus] Do you see me, or just my shadow? Living in echoes, where no one follows. Numb to the touch of day or night, Invisible in the blinding light.
