Behind These Walls Lyrics

[Verse 1]
In the shadows of this cell, where dreams fade away,
I used to sing for the stars, now I'm lost in this gray.
Sylvia Quinteros, a name once on the rise,
Now I face my future with haunted eyes.

Shot through the heart by the lies and deceit,
Yvonne played the queen, turned my throne to defeat
A whisper of danger, a cold graph of fame,
in this broken mirror I can't face my shame.

Chorus:
So listen close, girls, to the song of my strife.
Fame can turn to ashes, just a flicker of life.
Behind these walls, I've learned it's too late.
Don't follow my footsteps, don't tempt fate.

[Verse 2]
In this cold concrete jungle, where hope goes to die,
We gather in silence our spirits run dry.
The screams of the past haunt the air like a ghost.
A battle for freedom, a haunting I loathe.

Dreams of the stage now feels distant, obscure.
Each note that I sang now feels like a cure,
but the pen that I wield, it's a poison in hand.
My melodies tangled in a dark bitter land.

[Repeat chorus]

[Bridge]
They thought I was a superstar, a glimpse of the crown.
But I traded my dreams for this prison town.
If I could rewind I'd choose love over pride,
but the choices I made left me empty inside.

[Repeat chorus]

[Outro]
So step back from the edge, find your way to the light.
Break free from the shadows, don't lose the fight.
I sing from the dark but I dream of the day,
that we rise together and we'll find our way.
