Track 4: A Clouded Sky – The House That Trauma Built Lyrics
(Verse 1)
Ten years old, a whisper unheard
A secret truth in a single word
I said, “I’m gay,” but the doubt was stirred
Dismissed as a phase, a meaning blurred.
(Chorus)
And I hid my truth beneath a clouded sky
Believed the doubt behind a practiced lie
Just a secret untold, in the shadows so cold
Too afraid to let the real me show, too young to be that bold.
(Verse 2)
Online whispers in a family chat
My fingers typed where my courage sat
But fear took hold, and I fell back flat
Twice more the message, I took it all back.
(Chorus)
And I hid my truth beneath a clouded sky
Believed the doubt behind a practiced lie
Just a secret untold, in the shadows so cold
Too afraid to let the real me show, too young to be that bold.
(Bridge)
But fifteen came, and with friends by my side
There was finally nowhere left to hide
A message was crafted, the words set free
I’m gay and I’m proud, for the whole world to see.
And the family embraced with a gentle rain
And my friends stood beside me, erasing the pain
If only that support had come years before
Maybe I wouldn’t have hidden behind a locked door.
(Chorus)
(Music swells to its most powerful, an anthem of release)
I was done with the truth ‘neath a clouded sky!
Done with the doubt and the practiced lie!
That secret untold, left out in the cold!
It was time to let the real me show, it was time to be bold!
(Outro)
(Music softens again, but now it’s peaceful, resolved)
The world now knows… the rainbow unfurls…
My spirit can soar…
A life lived true…
Not hiding anymore.
Forevermore.
