[Intro] (Instrumental Solo) [Verse 1] They tossed me like trash by the roadside curb Like I never breathed, never stirred A shadow bleeding into daylight A ghost adrift in the open air Neglected, erased, unremembered A child the world refused to see I screamed till my throat ran raw and silent But silence was the only reply to me [Chorus] Was I ever meant to draw this breath? Is this world just ice and cold? Did God ever glance my way, or was my story bought and sold? I drowned in the black where the light forgot to reach Choking on the life the world kept yanking from me Yet somehow, someway, I still breathe [Verse 2] Betrayal coiled around me like a noose Abandonment sank its claws in deep A heart too young to carry this sorrow A story locked where no one could read They stared right through my bleeding, like I had no name A life the world marked as worthless, a soul drowning in shame I counted the cracks in the ceiling, waiting for the end But the dark just hummed, and I kept clinging [Chorus] Was I ever meant to draw this breath? Is this world just ice and cold? Did God ever glance my way, or was my story bought and sold? I drowned in the black where the light forgot to reach Choking on the life the world kept yanking from me Yet somehow, someway, I still breathe [Verse 3] No future glowed on the horizon's edge No hope left to clutch or keep Just echoes of questions in the darkness What am I here for? What do I need to be? I clawed through the night just to stay alive Learned to let no soul get close Survival became my only religion A quiet war I fought alone [Bridge] Empty as a hollowed-out heart Love was a word I only heard in lies I dug through the wreckage of my broken days Searching for why I had to bear this tide Did heaven slam its doors on me, or was it watching still? Waiting for the shattered child to climb the steepest hill For a hand that never came, for a voice that never called I kept crawling, even when my bones felt small [Final Chorus] I drowned in the silence where no one heard my cry A soul lost in the dark, begging for a sign They wrote me off as nothing, just another shattered dream But somewhere in the black, a light still fought for me [Outro] Invisible… But somehow still alive Invisible… Still fighting to survive
