(Verse 1)

Shadows from the past, so hard to erase

They’re clear in every step I trace

The pain once rooted deep in my heart

Now leaves a mark, tearing me apart

(Pre-Chorus)

When I try to move ahead and let it go

The shadows pull me back, they never slow

Though I know time won’t turn back for me

The traces remain, they won’t set me free

(Chorus)

Traces of wounds left behind, unseen but felt inside

They shape the person I am today

I try to weave my days, though fragile are the threads

Unraveling the bias in my head

(Verse 2)

Sometimes the laughter feels hollow, the smiles unclear

Behind them lies a story fading year by year

But I refuse to let these scars define my life

Fighting shadows, I’ll survive this strife

(Pre-Chorus)

Though each step feels heavy, I’ll stand my ground

Seeking light on roads where darkness surrounds

For I know these wounds belong to me

But they’re not my destiny to always bleed

(Chorus)

Traces of wounds left behind, unseen but felt inside

They shape the person I am today

I try to weave my days, though fragile are the threads

Unraveling the bias in my head

(Bridge)

Days may pass, the wounds won’t always fade

But I’ve learned to accept the shadows they’ve made

Not to forget, but to make peace in time

Breaking the chains that once confined

(Chorus – Reprise)

Traces of wounds left behind now fuel my strength

Carving stories anew at every length

With threads of courage, I’ll weave tomorrow’s frame

Unraveling the bias, reclaiming my flame

(Outro)

The wounds won’t bind me forevermore

Their traces now hold lessons to explore

For even through the weight, I see beyond

A version of me, free from wounds' bond.
