Northbound Shadows

Dead and gone, I walk this lonely path alone

No shadow in sight, my spirit’s turned to stone

I don’t see nobody by my side, just echoes in the night

Whispers of the past, faded out of sight

Turning heads north, I chase the ghost of yesterday

Lost in the smoke, trying to find my way

A blunt in my hand, thoughts drifting away

Payed off the doubts, I’m slowly losing the sway

Darkness surrounds, but I’m still standing tall

In this cold world, only shadows call

Dead and gone, but I keep holding on

Through the storm, till the break of dawn

Nobody around, I’m just riding solo

Moving through the night, with a heavy heart’s glow

Carry the weight, shadows in my mind

Searching for peace, what I hope to find

Lights fade out, but I still remain

In this dead silence, I feel the pain

Dead and gone, but I breathe, I survive

No more hiding, just trying to stay alive

Turn my head north, find a new dawn

Till the break of day, I’ll keep moving on

Lost in the darkness, searching for a sign

Trying to unwind, but the shadows align

Drowning in memories, deep beneath the tide

Fear in my eyes, nowhere left to hide

Wasted nights, just to forget the pain

Guess I’m running from my own shadow, in vain

Holding on tight, but it’s tearing me apart

Living with scars, felt so cold in my heart

Might as well just let go, it’s better that way

Trying to find the strength, but I’m stuck in yesterday

I don’t know another way to take this pain away

Maybe I should call, try to find some clarity

Tonight I got wasted just to numb the ache

My problems keep drowning, I can’t keep it inside

Hold on, or just let go, I can’t decide

Fighting these demons, they never let me be

Wishing for peace, but it’s just beyond my reach

Try to breathe, try to survive, trying to be free

But I’m lost in this storm, can’t find the key

If I let go, maybe I’ll find some grace

Or fall further down, lost in this place

Holding on when I should just let go

Searching for a way to heal this soul of mine
