Lyric

Alone, I walked that silent road

A locked door, no lights at home

I called out, "Mom," into the dark

But silence answered — no beating heart

The voices cold, the stares like ice

They said, "We've got the proof — think twice"

"You did it," spoken like a curse

Their eyes cut deeper than the words

Like I had taken her last breath

The world grew still, then filled with dread

No one met my pleading eyes

Just saw a killer in disguise

Words were trapped inside my throat

Tears refused to fall or float

That night, the world I thought I knew

Shattered, slow and soundless too

But I still saw a shadow flee

That night — someone besides me

I swear I saw that figure run

Before the silence had begun

I'm not the one who took her light

I'm not the one who broke the night

If no one else will speak the truth

Then I will rise and fight for proof

I cried alone for countless days

Curled in the dark, afraid to pray

You were the one who stayed so near

My oldest friend — you calmed my fear

You held my hand, you said no word

But "I believe you" — that was heard

And in your gaze, the world felt right

You brought me back into the light

But then his scent, his step, his glance

Matched what I'd feared at second glance

The lie, the tremble in his voice

Unmasked the truth beneath his choice

He said

"Your mom… she knew it all

The secrets I had tried to stall

I didn't want to lose my place —

I just… I couldn't face disgrace"

Even if anger scorches me

Tears won't restore what used to be

But hatred won't revive the dead

Nor cleanse the blood that fear has bled

Mom, I will walk this road alone

Not to cast stones, not to atone

But to embrace what pain I bear

And keep your light forever there

Let the world believe what it will

But I know truth is standing still

If I must walk through fire and flame

I'll do it proudly in your name

Back to the place you used to smile

I'll carry your love every mile

And if the world forgets your face

I'll bring your light back to this place
