Come up

In the shadows, he hides, breaking inside,

Chasing ghosts that he can’t outrun, oh,

With a heart full of scars, lost in the stars,

Trying to find where he belongs, yeah.

He was a boy with a dream so bright,

But the past drags him down, pulls him away,

Heart’s been shattered by those who lied,

Still, he plays this dangerous game every day.

With his head in the clouds, lost in the haze,

Pills and alcohol drown out the pain,

Fighting demons in a losing race,

Trying to find a way to break these chains.

Every night, he’s screaming for help,

But no one can hear, he’s stuck in this hell,

Chasing the high, while love slips away,

Can he find the strength to change his ways?

Falling from grace, he’s lost in the night,

Building up dreams, out of shadows and light,

When he found love, he let it slip through,

Now he’s running from the ghosts, battling the blues.

Fights with the memories etched in his mind,

Each ounce of regret pulls him deeper inside,

A crooked smile, and an empty thrill,

But deep down, there's a voice that begs him to heal.

A bruised heart seeking redemption so sweet,

Trying to rise but he’s stuck on repeat,

Facing the charges, his empire of dirt,

To rise from the ashes, he’s learning to hurt.

But can he find peace in this battle he waged?

Fighting the fear while the anger's enraged,

Dreams of escaping the pain in his chest,

Searching for solace, he’ll never give less.

Falling from grace, he’s lost in the night,

Building up dreams, out of shadows and light,

When he found love, he let it slip through,

Now he’s running from the ghosts, battling the blues.

When the morning breaks, will he find his way back?

To the boy who played free, to the light in the black,

Every tear is a lesson, every scar tells the tale,

He’s climbing these mountains, he won’t let love fail.

So here's to the fight, through the struggles and tides,

With love as his anchor, he’ll learn to confide,

A boy turned a man, now chasing the sun,

From rock bottom, he rises, the battle’s begun.
