Shadow of the Fight

In the shadow of my pain, I stand alone

Broken pieces of a life I've known

Lost in the darkness, drowning in my fears

Echoes of my past ringing in my ears

Stumbling through the wreckage of my day

Bruised and battered, lost my way

Fighting battles I can't seem to win

Feeling trapped, can't find my strength within

Why keep fighting, when everything's against me?

Why hold on, when my soul's so weary?

Thoughts of escape, just a bottle away

Hoping to find peace in yesterday

Give me a bottle of Jack, let me drown my pain

Lay in my tent, forget the rain

Sinking in sorrow, no more to hide

Lost all my hope, no place to hide

Crushed by the weight of all I’ve fought

Feeling empty, everything I’ve sought

Maybe it's time to let it all go

Surrender the fight, let the darkness show

But deep inside, a flicker remains

A spark of strength through all the chains

Maybe tomorrow, I’ll find my way

Or tonight, I’ll just drift away
