birthday tears
Cycle's Shadow (Birthday Blues) (Hook) Birthday tears fall, another year trapped, Middle-aged Black man, heart fully cracked. Swore I'd break the cycle, never cause that pain, But I'm repeating it all, driving me insane. (Verse 1) Grew up in chaos, Dad gone or screaming, Mom's eyes empty, house full of weeping. Holes in the walls, empty plates at night, Promised myself young: "I'll never repeat their fight." Trauma in my blood, fear in my bones, Vowed I'd build different, create safer homes. Late nights hiding, praying it would end, Swore on my life, I'd never hurt my future kin. But the scars run deep, whispering old lies, Middle age hit hard, exposing all the ties. Every argument echoes what I swore to erase, Yet the pain keeps winning in this familiar place. (Hook) Birthday tears fall, another year trapped, Middle-aged Black man, heart fully cracked. Swore I'd break the cycle, never cause that pain, But I'm repeating it all, driving me insane. (Verse 2) Found love in the storm, thought she'd be my calm, Now we yell like they did, dropping emotional bombs. Kids watch us shatter, same fear in their eyes, My heart's breaking knowing I'm feeding their cries. I read the books, went to therapy too, But the pain takes over—man, what did I do? Late nights on the couch, regret in my chest, Promising tomorrow I'll finally do my best. Her tears mirror Mom's, my anger like anger like uncs fist, Toxic cycle spinning, hard to resist. I see their little faces, innocent and small, Vowed to protect them—yet I'm risking it all. (Verse 3) Candles on this cake taste like bitter regret, Middle age staring back, heavy with debt. Promised better for them, but I'm failing again, Toxic in my veins, lost inside the pain. One more birthday, soul heavy and worn, Seeing my father's face every time I'm torn. Blow out the flames, wish for strength to change, Break these chains before it's too late to rearrange. Kids deserve laughter, not this house of storms, I feel the weight lifting as my spirit transforms. No more empty vows on this lonely night, Today I stand up and start walking toward the light. (Final Hook) Birthday tears fall, but hope starts to spark, Middle-aged king fighting hard in the dark. For my kids, for my soul, I rewrite this script, Break these chains today—watch the old me get ripped. (Outro – Hopeful Resolution) Yeah... flawed, scarred, but finally aware, This birthday I choose healing over despair. Gonna love without hurting, speak without rage, Build the home I dreamed of at a younger age. Kids deserve better, so the cycle dies here, New man emerging, facing every fear. Light ahead calling, no more shadows on me, Happy Birthday rebirth—I'm finally free. Peace and progress. The cycle ends with me. Happy Birthday. Longer verses, still raw and emotional. Keep pushing forward, king.
