Drowning in Shadows

Can’t seem to find my way through the dark,

Echoes of laughter in every remark.

A world out of focus, I’m stumbling alone,

I'm drowning my memories in a bottle, another day because I miss you.

You left me with shadows, they cling to my heart,

A ghost in the mirror, tearing me apart.

Days drift like ashes, smoke fills my room,

Drinking a bottle to forget the loss of you.

When I close my eyes, see your smile so bright,

But the pain’s like a storm, raging through the night.

Drowning my sorrows in misery’s game,

I'm hoping to numb this everlasting pain.

I’m lost in the bottle, can’t find my way out,

Living for the shadows and whispers of doubt.

Chasing the highs, but they only let me fall,

In this carousel of heartache, I’m losing it all.

Late nights in silence, your voice in the air,

Every moment I’m wishing you were still there.

Strangers with substances fill up my time,

But nothing replaces that heart of mine.

Waves of your laughter crash down on the floor,

And I rise with the morning, always wanting more.

Chasing that high, only to end up lowe.

Watching the world as my heart slowly turns.

I’m lost in the bottle, can’t find my way out,

Living for the shadows and whispers of doubt.

Chasing the highs, but they only let me fall,

In this carousel of heartache, I’m losing it all.

It’s been a battle just to live another day,

Your memory's lingers and won’t seem to fade.

Will I find the strength to break these four walls?

Or drown in the silence that lonely night calls?

So here’s to the moments we never outgrew,

I pour out my failures and lift a glass to you.

In the haze of the night, I’ll wander and roam,

But see, I’m still searching for a way to come home.
