[Intro]
In the quiet of the evening, I sit here and fight,
A battle of shadows, distinguishing wrong from right.
Time slips through my fingers like grains of sand,
Chained to this desk, but I long to stand.
[Verse 1]
Beneath these flickering lights, my dreams chase the clock,
Trading hours for dollars, while my heart starts to mock.
I wear a mask of routine, hide the fire inside,
But the devil's whispering, feeding on my pride.
[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, I reach for the heavens, but the ground pulls me down,
A tug of war between this life and the dreams almost found.
While bills are the shackles, my heart's looking free,
I fight in the silence, craving what’s meant to be.
[Chorus]
Am I lost in the shadows, drowning in the grind?
Or am I just a warrior, rewriting the lines?
Each step that I take, it’s a dance with my fate,
I long for the light, but the hourglass waits.
[Verse 2]
Faces come and go, drifting in and out of sight,
Some judge by my struggle while others shed their light.
I want to scream out love, unleash all my hate,
But the chains of a paycheck seem to seal my fate.
[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, I keep my heart open, though the world’s bitter cold,
With God’s hand outstretched, I reach for dreams untold.
But time's a cruel thief, slipping out of my hands,
While shadows lurk closer, painting over my plans.
[Chorus]
Am I lost in the shadows, drowning in the grind?
Or am I just a warrior, rewriting the lines?
Each step that I take, it’s a dance with my fate,
I long for the light, but the hourglass waits.
[Bridge]
If I break through the barriers, what’s waiting for me?
The whispers of freedom beyond this routine.
I’ll bridge the divide 'twixt the love and the strife,
Casting aside worries to breathe a new life.
[Outro]
So I’ll battle each morning with courage in my heart,
Fighting the shadows, reclaiming my part.
For I’m more than a cog, I’m a flame in the night,
With each step, I’ll build a path toward the light.
