Shadows Lurking | Taylor Swift Fanfic

Lyrics

Thought I would just make a chapter to the lyrics of Amerie's album.

1: Shadows Lurking

I laid in bed, watching the sunset, scrolling through the endless Wattpad stories.
Must of crossed my mind, another sleepless night.
Spent hours and hours staring at the ceiling, feeling like nothing is healing.

Then my Mom shouts my name to get up for the day, the shadow of school is lurking.
Feels like I'm pulling off weights, feels like my body is draining, the life it's burning.
I've lost my spark, don't know where you are.

My eyes don't light up when I'm watching what I call home.
Another episode of the firefighter show, I spent hours of my night binging through the episodes, trying to find some light in the shits of my life.

Shadows lurking, people talking, I'm just walking tryna' get a sense of life.
Feels like I'm running on a battery, you read about it in the books of psychology, but when it's you, you don't notice the shadows lurking.

The shadows lurking, people talking, I'm just walking tryna' get a sense of life.
The blurred faces as I try to come to my senses, the world that surrounds me suddenly is caving in.
The shadows lurking, I'm trapped in an endless mind trick that's running on repeat.

I walk through the corridors of my school, last night was another sleepless one, I'm dragging out my feet, drinking pints of coffee, scrounging for amounts of energy.
Shadows lurk, I keep trying to work, but I can't help but feel the pressure to put on a face and pretend every day.

Shadows lurk when the mask slips, you hear the voices of the snarky comments.
Then the world is suddenly all against ya'.

2: The Ballard Of A Autistic Girl

In a world so loud, she finds her peace,
With a heart so kind, her love's a masterpiece.
She dances to a different beat, her own unique way,
In the silence, she finds words she can't always say.

She's a star shining bright in her own special light,
With a soul so pure, she's a beautiful sight.
In her world of colors, where she feels so free,
The ballard of an autistic girl, just let her be.

She sees the world through a different lens,
In the quiet moments, her heart transcends.
With a love for cats and songs so sweet,
She finds her rhythm, makes her life complete.

She's a star shining bright in her own special light,
With a soul so pure, she's a beautiful sight.
In her world of colors, where she feels so free,
The ballard of an autistic girl, just let her be.

In the whispers of the night, she finds her voice,
In the melody of life, she makes her choice.
To be herself, in every single way,
The ballard of an autistic girl, she's here to stay.

She's a star shining bright in her own special light,
With a soul so pure, she's a beautiful sight.
In her world of colors, where she feels so free,
The ballard of an autistic girl, just let her be.

3: Autistic Burnout

Woke up feeling heavy, the world's too loud,
Trying to find my way through this endless crowd.
Every step feels like a mountain to climb,
In this silent struggle, I'm losing time.

Autistic burnout, it's a storm inside,
In this quiet chaos, I just want to hide.
But I'll find my strength, in my own way,
In the heart of the storm, I'll find my day.

Every sound, every light, it's all too much,
Needing space, needing time, just a gentle touch.
In the quiet moments, I'll find my peace,
In the stillness, the noise will cease.
