Chasing Shadows

[Verse]
The night falls hard like broken glass
Silent whispers from my past
A handful of pills a question remains
Will they mend the ache or deepen the pain
[Chorus]
Searching the void for the missing clue
A sharp blade whispers
"What will you do?"
The answers hide in shadows that dance
I reach for them but they slip from my hands
[Verse 2]
Mirror reflections stare me cold
Eyes once bright now a story untold
Each little scar a chapter inked in red
The longing to find peace collides with dread
[Chorus]
Searching the void for the missing clue
A sharp blade whispers
"What will you do?"
The answers hide in shadows that dance
I reach for them but they slip from my hands
[Bridge]
The pills don't heal they weigh me down
The blade can't save it only drowns
A quiet scream builds deep inside
Waiting for light while it tries to survive
[Verse 3]
Maybe someday the answer will glow
Born from the fire of letting go
For now
The battle rages on
A weary solider before the dawn
