The Price of Innocence

Silent Echoes

**Verse 1**
In a world painted bright, shadows whispered lies,
You were just a child, chasing dreams in the skies.
Hand in hand with hope, thought you held the key,
But the streets were silent, drowned in apathy.

**Chorus**
Now you’re lost in the silence, the echoes won't fade,
Trusting in a promise that the world never made.
There's a price for the innocence you wore like a crown,
In this haunting symphony, you’re the lost and the found.

**Verse 2**
Walking into danger, with your heart on display,
The shadows danced around you, but you couldn’t see the fray.
A smile in the darkness, you thought you were safe,
Yet the silence was deafening, a dreamer’s cruel fate.

**Chorus**
Now you’re lost in the silence, the echoes won't fade,
Trusting in a promise that the world never made.
There's a price for the innocence you wore like a crown,
In this haunting symphony, you’re the lost and the found.

**Bridge**
And now you’re a ghost in your own shattered past,
The colors all faded, the melodies cast.
You scream in the silence, but no one can hear,
The truth in your heart is a burden you fear.

**Outro**
So remember this story, let it echo in time,
Trusting in the world can cost more than a dime.
With every step forward, tread with your eyes wide,
In the shadows of silence, where the lost ones reside.
