Lyrics

[INTRO]
Woke up this morning, sun barely shining,
Heart heavy with the weight of the world, I’m fighting.
But as I take a step, everything goes wrong,
Mom's yelling in my face, feels like a cruel song.

[VERSE 1]
“Get outta bed, you’re a mess!” she screams,
I barely catch my breath, caught in twisted dreams.
I try to speak my truth, “Mom, can’t you see?
You’re the one throwing accusations at me.”
Denial drips from her lips, like poison in the air,
I’m just a kid looking for love, but you don’t care.
Lies build a wall, I’m reaching out to touch,
But every time I do, it hurts me way too much.

[CHORUS]
Why am I the target of a war unprovoked?
Just a hurt soul, with trauma cloaked.
Trying to break free from this endless night,
But all I find is darkness, can’t find the light.
I’m not a villain in this broken tale,
Just a kid who’s drowning, I’m starting to pale.

[VERSE 2]
Try to guard my heart, but it’s made of glass,
Every word you throw, I feel it cut and clash.
Mom, you don’t see me, just a shadow on the wall,
Every scream and every curse, I feel so small.
Then they take me away, thrown in a cage,
Just a kid caught up in your bitter rage.
I ask myself, “Is this really who I am?”
A pile of dirt in their eyes, caught in a scam.

[CHORUS]
Why am I the target of a war unprovoked?
Just a hurt soul, with trauma cloaked.
Trying to break free from this endless night,
But all I find is darkness, can’t find the light.
I’m not a villain in this broken tale,
Just a kid who’s drowning, I’m starting to pale.

[BRIDGE]
But the sun will rise, my spirit will chase,
A voice inside me whispers, “You’re not out of place.”
I’ll find my way, I’ll learn to stand tall,
Even when the world feels like it’s bound to fall.
I’ll rise from the ashes, I’ll break these chains [OUTRO] I’m made to speak the truth even if it’s pain.
