[Verse 1] I dressed you in my will, called you something you’re not, Taught you how to hide, every feeling I forgot. My eyes were never kind, my love a hollow mask, And in the name of duty, I denied the heart you ask. [Chorus] Akito, oh Akito, the shadow of my name, You forced me into silence, chained me in your game. Every lie I wore was the truth you never gave, A mother’s love? No… only the cold I crave. [Verse 2] I hated who you were, but hid it under guise, Made you a reflection of the life I idealized. Your cries were whispers, fading into night, While I stood proud and distant, blind to your fright. [Chorus] Akito, oh Akito, the shadow of my name, You forced me into silence, chained me in your game. Every lie I wore was the truth you never gave, A mother’s love? No… only the cold I crave. [Bridge] The mirror shows a child who never had a choice, A life dictated, silenced, stripped of voice. You shaped the mask, and broke the soul inside, Yet still I breathe, still hurt, still try to hide. [Outro] My, oh, my, your shadow lingers still, A mother’s love? No… only my iron will.
