Shadows from the past, they came and stole my youth The one who crossed the line, took away my innocence and almost killed me The one who made us run and leave our home forever The one that said it was okay when I was only fourteen, and he was twenty-one The one that touched me under blankets, leaving me frozen in place The one that assaulted me right there upon the stairs The ones who pushed me in a car and threw me drugged inside I have never known what really happened in the dark The one who made me lock my door The one where we survived our burning house, only left with ashes Everyone who vanished, leaving me with pain to hold Mother trapped inside the sorrow she couldn't fight Looking for a peace the bottle kept out of sight Until the silence took her, and the cold shadows fell The clock just kept on ticking while my world became a hell Time ripped away from me, against my own will! Time is always torn right out of my hands! Before I even notice, it slips away like sand! Grief upon grief, pain upon pain A weight I cannot bear, drowning in the rain Every door I open slams shut, leaving me standing there Losing all my family, the years moving fast My whole life feels like a long farewell cast... So many faces that I’ll never see again Even seeking help, I found no refuge from the pain It feels like every path I take is blocked from the outside Is there a limit to what one human heart can take? When time just keeps on stealing... Time is always torn right out of my hands! Before I even notice, it slips away like sand! Grief upon grief, pain upon pain A weight I cannot bear, drowning in the rain Every door I open slams shut, leaving me standing there Losing all my family, the years moving fast My whole life feels like a long farewell cast! Stolen seconds! Stolen pieces of my mind! I fight against the echoes of the time they left behind! The trail of heavy losses leaves deep scars inside of me... When will this endless robbery finally set me free?! Every mark and every loss, I carry through the night But the time I still have left... holds a flicker of the light No matter what they stole from me, or who walked out the door... My own voice remains with me... surviving through the war.
