Shadows of Grief

[Intro]
Lost in the shadows of my own mind,
Searching for the peace I can't find.
Dark nights, heavy heart, I grind,
Trying to leave these scars behind.

[Verse 1]
All I ever wanted was to promises I could keep,
Lost my father, now I weep while the world's asleep.
Gotta stay strong for my peeps, thank God for peace,
Ease my mind, let me find some sleep, release.

[Pre-Chorus]
Ceilings stare back, all I do is think,
Writing these words, my ink begins to sink.
Pouring drinks, trying to drown the pain,
Fighting these demons, driving me insane.

[Chorus]
Trying to right my wrongs, battling a beast,
Longing for peace, but grief won't cease.
When I’m gone, maybe then I’ll find relief,
Dreams slipping away, what do I believe?

[Bridge]
Shawty broke my heart, left me weak,
Days when I didn’t eat, couldn’t even speak.
Lost in my mind, feeling defeat,
But I kept going, my spirit roamed free.

[Outro]
Thoughts linger, echoes of the past,
Hoping someday I’ll finally surpass.
Till then I fight, hope and despair,
Searching for peace in the cold night air.
