V I C K - anew Lyrics

The silence speaks louder than the words unspoken
A heart's heavy burden a spirit broken
But within the hush find strength to rise
In the face of adversity claim back the skies

Waking to bruises a memory erased
A victim of violence in a world misplaced
But within the silence find courage anew
To rebuild to heal to start life anew

In the silence that follows the echoes persist
The pain of that night a clenched fist
Beaten by silence as darkness took hold
In the hometown's heart a story untold

Drunk on acceptance
Vulnerability shared
The night took a turn leaving scars bared
In the judgment of eyes too gay for their gaze
Brutality unforgiving in a cold heartless maze

In the hometown lights
On New Year's Eve
A story unfolds that's hard to believe
Lost in the crowd with friends untrue
In the shadows of the club where silence grew

Fake friends masked in laughter and cheer
The ones you trusted now crystal clear
Victim of hate fuel alcohol's flame
In the echoes of silence the world feels the same

In the aftermath's quiet find strength to mend
With allies and love let the wounds transcend
In your truth and resilience bold
A new story unfolds a future untold

In the silence that follows the echoes persist
The pain of that night a clenched fist
Beaten by silence as darkness took hold
In the hometown's heart a story untold

Drunk on acceptance a vulnerability shared
But the night took a turn leaving scars bared
In the judgment of eyes too gay for their gaze
A brutality unforgiving in a cold heartless maze
