" Fading Shadow "
"Fading Shadows"
(Verse 1)
I walk these frozen streets, no place to call my own,
A cardboard box, my shelter, beneath the aching stone.
The city's lights don't warm me; they only show my scars,
Each step I take feels heavier, like dragging shattered stars.
(Pre-Chorus)
The hunger bites like winter, the cold sinks in my veins,
The bottle in my pocket dulls the screaming of my pain.
But every sip's a whisper, a lie I tell myself,
A fleeting piece of comfort, stealing what’s left of my health.
(Chorus)
I’m a fading shadow, drifting through the night,
Searching for a reason, clinging to the fight.
But the weight of this addiction pulls me to the ground,
A voice inside keeps screaming, but it’s lost without a sound.
(Verse 2)
I see their judging faces as they pass me on the street,
They don’t see the battles or the demons I repeat.
The choices I regret, the dreams that slipped away,
Each one a haunting memory, a ghost of yesterday.
(Pre-Chorus)
I’m chasing something broken, a past I can’t restore,
Every high feels lower; it’s a war I can’t ignore.
The hunger’s not just in me—it’s eating at my soul,
And every step I stumble, I’m further from being whole.
(Chorus)
I’m a fading shadow, drifting through the night,
Searching for a reason, clinging to the fight.
But the weight of this addiction pulls me to the ground,
A voice inside keeps screaming, but it’s lost without a sound.
(Bridge)
Your mountains, your rivers, your skies so wide,
Why do I feel so small beneath your endless pride?
I want to find the strength, to rise, to breathe again,
But the frost is in my spirit, and the storm’s beneath my skin.
(Final Chorus)
I’m a fading shadow, praying for the sun,
Wishing for tomorrow, but the night has just begun.
If someone hears me crying, please don’t look away,
I’m just a soul still searching for a brighter, kinder day.
(Outro)
The snow falls all around me, covering my pain,
A silent, empty witness to my endless chain.
But maybe there’s a whisper, a spark within this cold,
A hope that someone sees me, a story yet untold.
