Shadows in the Silence

Verse

In the quiet of a midnight street,

Where the red and blue lights fade,

There are stories no one ever hears,

Locked behind the shields they made.

They carry ghosts from every call,

But speak of none at all…

Pre-chorus

And the silence grows heavier,

With every shift they survive…

Chorus

Hello shadows, my old friend,

Walking with me once again.

In the places where the pain hides,

In the memories no one sees inside.

They stand strong, but the weight cuts deep like a siren,

And one life lost is still one too many in the silence.

Verse

They see the things that fracture souls,

Hold the line when hope runs thin.

But when the world goes quiet on them,

That’s when the darkness settles in.

They smile so no one sees the cracks,

Breaking quietly in the back…

Pre-chorus

And the silence grows louder still,

In the places courage can’t fill…

Chorus

Hello shadows, my old friend,

Walking with me once again.

In the places where the pain hides,

In the memories no one sees inside.

They stand strong, but the weight cuts deep like a siren,

And one life lost is still one too many in the silence.

Bridge

If you’re standing on the edge tonight,

Reach out — don’t fight that war alone.

There’s a hand to pull you back to light,

There’s a reason to hold on.

The bravest thing you’ll ever do

Is whisper “I need you”…

Chorus

Hello shadows, fade away,

We’re not losing one more today.

In the quiet we will stand strong,

Break the silence that’s lasted too long.

Hope can rise where the dark once felt like violence—

Because one lost soul is one too many in the silence.
