Shadow Scars [Verse 1] the synth pad hums, a quiet, knowing drone the dark mentor's shadow, i've finally outgrown the lessons linger, like fading, old tattoos but they don't define me, or tell me what to choose [Pre-Chorus] the sub-bass holds, a steady, calm embrace i remember every moment, every painful trace but now i see the purpose, in the jagged lines the wisdom woven in, with darker, subtle signs [Chorus] these are my shadow scars, etched into my soul reminders of the journey, making me feel whole no longer haunted, just aware of what i've faced finding beauty in the trials, with elegant good taste my shadow scars, a testament to grace [Verse 2] the whispers of control, are just a distant sound on the sacred, inner pathways, i've finally found no need to reconcile, or seek a final truce just understanding gained, and finally cut loose [Pre-Chorus] the production's intimate, a breath against my ear no need for grand pronouncements, no need for any fear the quiet confidence, that only comes with time knowing both the darkness, and the climb [Chorus] these are my shadow scars, etched into my soul reminders of the journey, making me feel whole no longer haunted, just aware of what i've faced finding beauty in the trials, with elegant good taste my shadow scars, a testament to grace [Bridge] the maverick and the shadow, same voice, different mask i learned to ask the question, before i learned to ask both were necessary, both were mine to hold now i write my own story, brave and bold [Outro] shadow scars, no longer bind shadow scars, i left them behind just a lesson, a lesson learned now it's my turn my turn
