Room of Shadows

Quiet darkness, lonely room, whispering shadows fall

A bottle waiting in the gloom, to help me forget it all

Hello, hotel heartache, do you have a space for me?

A shattered soul in pieces, craving peace I cannot see

No light, no sound, just silence deep and vast

Drown out the world, erase the past, make this pain pass

Pour me a drink, let it numb the ache, let it swallow tears

In this quiet, darkened place, I drown my fears

No more pain, no more rain, just a fleeting escape

A simple promise, a moment’s peace, in this empty space

Whiskey bottle, my old friend, hold my broken heart

Take away the suffering, a new pain to start

In the shadows where I hide, in the dark I reside

Let me drown my sorrow, just for tonight

Burning in hell, I’ve lost my way, I’ve paid my due

Thought I deserved the pain, a harsh and lonely truth

But hope flickers faint, a distant, fading light

Still, I hold on to dreams, fragile as the night

Silence now, just silence somehow, in this hollow room

Waiting for the dawn, or maybe just the gloom

Whiskey, my solace, in your solace I confide

Until I find my way out, with you as my guide
