A:01 - Beyond My Skin - 08. (Trauma and Abuse) Shadows of the Past - By Echo Grey V.01

Verse 1: I'm haunted by the shadows of my past The memories linger, forever to last I'm trying to break free, from the chains that bind But the scars run deep, and the pain is hard to unwind Verse 2: I'm trapped in a cycle, of fear and despair The memories of trauma, they still linger there I'm trying to move forward, but it's hard to begin When the shadows of my past, they still haunt me within Chorus: Shadows of the past, they follow me everywhere I'm trying to escape, but they're always there Shadows of the past, they whisper my name I'm trying to break free, from the pain and the shame Verse 3: I'm scared to open up, to let someone in Afraid of being hurt again, and reliving the pain within I'm trying to trust again, but it's hard to begin When the wounds of my past, they still linger within Chorus: Shadows of the past, they follow me everywhere I'm trying to escape, but they're always there Shadows of the past, they whisper my name I'm trying to break free, from the pain and the shame Bridge: Maybe someday soon, I'll find my way out Maybe someday soon, I'll learn to let go And I'll find my strength, and I'll rise above the pain And I'll heal from the wounds, and I'll start anew again Shadows of the past, they whisper my name I'm trying to break free, from the pain and the shame Bridge: Maybe someday soon, I'll find my way out Maybe someday soon, I'll learn to let go And I'll find my strength, and I'll rise above the pain And I'll heal from the wounds, and I'll start anew again Outro: I'll learn to forgive, and let go of the blame I'll rise up from the ashes, and I'll reclaim my name I'll find my voice again, and I'll make it loud and clear I'll break free from the shadows, and I'll face my fears.
