07. Shadows I Carry (live2)

[crowd close, quiet room noise] [spoken words announcement] “Okay… this one’s personal. ‘Shadows I Carry.’” [intro] Verse 1 The wind is cold and restless as it whispers through the trees. Every memory I’ve buried comes alive inside the breeze. I can feel the weight behind me, like a voice I can’t deny. All the shadows I carry walk beside me in the night. Chorus These shadows I carry, they follow where I roam. They rise when I falter, they cling to skin and bone. But I keep on moving, though the darkness feels so near. For the shadows I carry are the truth I learned to hear. Verse 2 I have walked through fire and silence, I have stumbled through the rain. Every step becomes a story written deep beneath the pain. And the echoes of the distance call me forward through the fear. But the shadows I carry never fully disappear. Bridge If the night begins to tremble, I won’t turn my face away. For the shadows I carry are the price I choose to pay. Final Chorus These shadows I carry, they follow where I roam. They rise when I falter, they cling to skin and bone. But I keep on moving, though the darkness feels so near. For the shadows I carry are the truth I learned to hear
