[Verse]
There's a shadow that follows
It clings to my skin
A weight I can't carry
A battle I can't win
Every step feels heavy
Every breath a fight
The sun hides away
Leaving me in the night
[Verse 2]
I've screamed at the silence
Begged for a sign
But the echoes just mock me
This darkness is mine
The clock keeps on ticking
But time doesn't heal
This pain is too real
This emptiness I feel
[Chorus]
Oh why does this dark cloud follow me
I can't find the light
I can't break free
I'm drowning in shadows
They're pulling me down
Oh why does this dark cloud keep hanging around
[Bridge]
I've tried to outrun it
I've tried to let go
But it holds me tighter
Like it wants me to know
That life isn't easy
And neither am I
Still
I look for the stars in this blackened sky
[Verse 3]
There's a crack in the armor
A sliver of hope
A rope in the distance
I just need to cope
I'll climb out of this hole
I'll find my way back
I'll leave behind the darkness
Escape from the black
[Chorus]
Oh why does this dark cloud follow me
I can't find the light
I can't break free
I'm drowning in shadows
They're pulling me down
Oh why does this dark cloud keep hanging around
