Behind These Walls2

Verse

The neon city fades like a dying flame,

Rain on my shoulders, but I feel no shame.

Crowds disappear, yet their ghosts still cling,

I unlock my door, hear the silence sing.

Pre-chorus

Under the glow of a single light,

I peel off the mask I wore tonight.

Chorus

Behind these walls, the shadows know my name,

Every echo calls me back to my shame.

I gave my heartbeat to the world outside,

But in my own room, there’s nowhere to hide.

Verse

My jacket falls to the hardwood floor,

Keys on the table, but I want for more.

Your photograph trembles in a silver frame,

Eyes so alive, but they’re never the same.

Pre-chorus

Out there I sparkle, out there I shine,

In here I’m broken, no alibi.

Chorus

Behind these walls, the shadows know my name,

Every echo calls me back to my shame.

I gave my heartbeat to the world outside,

But in my own room, there’s nowhere to hide.

Bridge

Curtains sway like ghosts at a midnight show,

I close my eyes and let the memories grow.

If I scream your name, will the city hear?

Or just this empty room that tastes of tears?

Chorus

Behind these walls, the shadows know my name,

Every echo burns like a flickering flame.

I gave my daylight, my soul, my pride,

But in my own room, my heart can’t survive.

Outro

Rain on the window, lights on the street,

I’m home but I’m lost, the cycle repeats.

Behind these walls, I’m only me,

Alone in the dark with no one to see.
