Echoes of Pain

[Intro] [Verse 1] The walls are whispering secrets I can’t bear, Scars in the silence, a soul stripped bare. You wrapped your lies in a velvet glove, But kindness fades when push comes to shove. [Chorus] Mistreated, my heart’s a hollow drum, Beating for a love that never comes. You lit the fire just to watch it bleed, Now I’m choking on the smoke of your greed. [Verse 2] I walked the tightrope over your disdain, Each step a battle, every breath in vain. You sold my tears to the highest bidder, But chains can’t hold what your coldness withered. [Chorus] Mistreated, my heart’s a hollow drum, Beating for a love that never comes. You lit the fire just to watch it bleed, Now I’m choking on the smoke of your greed. [Bridge] The night’s grown teeth, it bites the dawn, I’ll rise from ashes, rewrite the song. Your ghost may linger, a stain, a thorn, But the storm you brewed is where I’m reborn. [Chorus] Mistreated, my heart’s a hollow drum, Beating for a love that never comes. You lit the fire just to watch it bleed, Now I’m choking on the smoke of your greed. [Outro]
