[Verse 1] In the corner of this silent room, Dust dances in the fading gloom, A portrait gazes, still and cold, A story buried, left untold. Your eyes, they pierce the years like glass, A little girl, locked in the past. Blond curls that frame a frozen face, Dressed in ribbons, satin lace. [Pre-Chorus] Were you ever loved, did you ever smile? Or did you wither in that lonely isle? A puppet in a gilded cage, Lost between the lines of age. [Coloratura Soprano Intermezzo] [Chorus] [Opera Solo] Oh, broken child, beneath the weight, Who locked you in this frozen state? A lonely tear, forever still, A heavy heart no time can fill. But your silence speaks, and always will, Oh, little ghost of yesterday, Forever lost, yet bound to stay. [Verse 2] Oh, broken child, what did you see, Through hollow eyes and misery? In patent shoes and dainty whites, You haunt the day, you haunt the nights. Did they ever know your name? Or were you just a fleeting frame? A figure frozen in a past, A lonely echo meant to last. [Pre-Chorus] Oh, broken child, beneath the veil, A whispered life, a fragile tale. We think we know, we think we see, But who could know your silent plea? [Coloratura Soprano Intermezzo] [Chorus] [Opera Solo] Oh, broken child, beneath the weight, Who locked you in this frozen state? A lonely tear, forever still, A heavy heart no time can fill. But your silence speaks, and always will, Oh, little ghost of yesterday, Forever lost, yet bound to stay. [Bridge] Oh, broken child, if I could free, The secrets that you hide from me. If I could reach through time and space, I’d break you free from this lonely place. But here you stay, beneath this dust, A forgotten child in shadows thrust. Your world is gone, but I remain, And I can feel your silent pain. [Chorus] Oh, broken child, beneath the weight, Who locked you in this frozen state? A lonely tear, forever still, A heavy heart no time can fill. But your silence speaks, and always will, Oh, little ghost of yesterday, Forever lost, yet bound to stay. [Outro] Oh, broken child, what dreams were lost, In lace and ribbons, bound by frost? Now you’re a secret softly told, In quiet halls where air is cold. A memory, forever framed, In time, unloved, forever name.
