Shadows In The Spotlight

[Verse 1] In the shadows, you keep your calm, A neutral face, like nothin's wrong. But I see the spark, behind your eyes, A hidden fire, you can't disguise. [Pre-Chorus] You play it cool, you play it straight, But when the moment's right, you hesitate. A guarded heart, in your quiet way, Words left unspoken, but what do they say? [Chorus] Shady raven, you’re half in, half out, Caught between the whispers and the shout. You wear your armor, don’t let it slip, But there's a crack there, a silent quip. [Verse 2] You stand your ground, while others fly, Not showin' much, but you don’t deny. The world’s a stage, and you’re on cue, Not playin' the hero, just stayin’ true. [Pre-Chorus] A fleeting grin, a sideways glance, You keep the rhythm, don’t break the dance. A careful touch, don’t show the ache, But I see you tremble, when the stage shakes. [Chorus] Shady raven, you’re half in, half out, Caught between the whispers and the shout. You wear your armor, don’t let it slip, But there's a crack there, a silent quip. [Bridge] Maybe someday, you’ll drop the mask, Let the fire free, don’t even ask. But till that day, you’re playin’ your part, A quiet defender, of your own heart. [Outro] Shady raven, the show goes on, The spotlight fades, but you’re never gone. A neutral stance, a guarded sigh, In the shadows, you learn to fly.
