Shadows of What Was

[Intro]
Yeah, it’s like I’m walkin’ in a shadow,  
Best friend gone, now it’s hard to handle,  
Life feels empty, can’t light the candle,  
Rap metal vibes, emotions dismantle.
[Verse 1]
We were kings of the streets, made our own way,  
Now it’s just echoes, memories in gray,  
Laughing and raging, we’d conquer the night,  
Now every corner, it just don’t feel right.
Faded photographs, dust in the frames,  
Voices in my head, calling out your name,  
Life spiraling down, like a rollercoaster,  
Without you here, man, it’s getting colder.
[Pre-Chorus]
We were invincible, took on the world,  
Now I’m standing alone, watchin’ pain unfurl,  
Hit me like a truck, what’s left of my soul?  
Drowning in the silence, it’s taking its toll.
[Chorus]
Loss and chaos, it’s a heavy hit,  
Life just goes to shit, man, can’t admit,  
Every night I scream, but no one can hear,  
Best friend gone, it’s a world of fear.
[Bridge]
Wrecked with grief, I’m trapped in a loop,  
Rage in the rhythm, throwing down the scoop,  
Metal in my veins, rap on my tongue,  
Memories flash like the songs we sung.
[Verse 2]
Life’s a stage, but I forgot my lines,  
Searching for meaning in the dead-end signs,  
Every laugh we shared, now shadows that haunt,  
Every tear I shed, man, it’s a bloodfount.
We were the dreamers, running the game,  
Now I’m running uphill, feeling the shame,  
The chaos surrounds, but I stand my ground,  
Trying to find peace in the rocks and the sound.
[Pre-Chorus]
We were untouchable, till the day you fell,  
Now I’m battling demons, living in hell,  
Your spirit’s with me, in every rap beat,  
But it’s hard to keep moving, when you’re missing your feet.
[Chorus]
Loss and chaos, it’s a heavy hit,  
Life just goes to shit, man, can’t admit,  
Every night I scream, but no one can hear,  
Best friend gone, it’s a world of fear.
[Outro]
So here’s to you, in the mosh pit of pain,  
We’ll rage on together, in the sun and the rain,  
Though life’s gone to shit, I’ll hold on tight,  
Best friend forever, we’ll keep up the fight.
