Fading Into Shadows

Smoke rises, shadows fall, lost in the night, I hear the call

Living in a haze, trying to escape, trying to find my way, but I can't escape

Sip on my sorrow, hold it tight, drown the pain, fade into night

Every hit’s a reminder, I’m losing the fight, grasping for hope, but it slips out of sight

Dreams I once had now just ghosts, buried in the ashes, burned the most

Trading love for loneliness, paying the cost, crying inside, forever lost

Can’t feel the high, just numb the pain, sinking deep, going insane

Holding on, I’ve held too long, fighting shadows, where I belong

If only someone could understand, but all I get's a pity stand

This self-doubt's my only friend, wondering when this will end

Gotta break free from this cage, I’m trapped inside my mind’s rage

Looking for a way out, but it’s a lonely stage

Can’t escape these thoughts that haunt, I’m fading away, I want

To find the light, I’ve lost my way, in this endless night

Drowned in my sorrows, fighting my own shadow

Wish I could find peace, but it’s just too shallow

Self-sabotage’s my only guide, in this war I can't hide

Breaking down inside, too broken to abide

Every day’s a battle, every night’s a prayer

Trying to heal, but the scars are there

Maybe someday I’ll be free, from this misery

Until then, I’ll just keep smoking dreamless sea
