Shadows

Dirt road stretches out for miles,

Empty bottle by my side,

Every day's a battle,

Every night's a war inside,

I don't even think,

This life’s worth fighting for,

So please tell me if there's even more.

Shadows of damnation

Whisper in the dark

Death and drugs keep calling

Tearing me apart

Is this all there is to living?

Or am I too blind to see?

These shadows of damnation

They're all that's left of me.

This guitar is broke,

And really out of tune,

Reminds me of my life, broken and gone too soon.

Fields of broken dreams,

Surround this little town,

Wonder if they would notice,

If I am not around,

I really doubt it fuck this little town.

Shadows of damnation

Whisper in the dark

Death and drugs keep calling

Tearing me apart

Is this all there is to living?

Or am I just too blind to see?

These shadows of damnation

They're all that's left of me.

My mama hasn't called,

Don't think she even cares,

But I can't find the strength,

To leave this world behind,

The devil has my soul in chains,

And I can feel the pain.

Please free me, or take me away.

I just can't seem to finally break away,

These chains are really heavy,

pulling me down, I should just give up,

Amidst this endless night,

Wondering if there's hope,

For my heart to see the light.

Shadows of damnation

Whisper in the dark

Death and drugs keep calling,

Tearing me apart.

But maybe there's something,

Left in this old heart,

A reason to keep going,

To live another day,

These shadows of damnation,

Might just fade away.

So I’ll fight while I can,

Through the struggle and strife,

Preying theres a chance,

To reclaim a bit of life.

These shadows may linger,

And chase me through dark,

But ill reach for the light,

With every breath I take,

Hope my life gets better,

And I am no mistake.
