Lyrics

[Verse]
Tommy on the corner, hoodie up, sky's dim
Eyes heavy, like the clouds that won’t let light in
Fists in his pockets, streets whisper his name
Concrete jungle, but the lions don’t play the same

He’s drowning in thoughts, but the water’s invisible
Mirror shows a stranger, pain indivisible
Tears dry quick, but the stain's in his mind
Clock ticking loud, but he’s frozen in time

[Chorus]
Tommy fights the shadows, they creeping slow
Hides the weight he carries, they’ll never know
Shouts in his chest, but the world stays quiet
Heart’s on fire, but the match won’t light it

[Verse 2]
Mom says, "Smile, boy, you got it all good"
Dad says, "Man up, you misunderstood"
Tommy says nothing, the words get stuck
Trying to climb out, but the ladder’s been cut

His friends call him ghost, they don’t see the chains
Invisible battle, no medals, just pain
The pills on the counter, they staring him down
A king with no crown, lost in his own town

[Bridge]
Streetlights flicker, same rhythm as his heart
Every night a canvas, painted torn apart
He whispers to the moon, "Can you guide me through?"
But the moon just fades, like the hope he once knew
