" Fading Shadow "

"Fading Shadows" (Verse 1) I walk these frozen streets, no place to call my own, A cardboard box, my shelter, beneath the aching stone. The city's lights don't warm me; they only show my scars, Each step I take feels heavier, like dragging shattered stars. (Pre-Chorus) The hunger bites like winter, the cold sinks in my veins, The bottle in my pocket dulls the screaming of my pain. But every sip's a whisper, a lie I tell myself, A fleeting piece of comfort, stealing what’s left of my health. (Chorus) I’m a fading shadow, drifting through the night, Searching for a reason, clinging to the fight. But the weight of this addiction pulls me to the ground, A voice inside keeps screaming, but it’s lost without a sound. (Verse 2) I see their judging faces as they pass me on the street, They don’t see the battles or the demons I repeat. The choices I regret, the dreams that slipped away, Each one a haunting memory, a ghost of yesterday. (Pre-Chorus) I’m chasing something broken, a past I can’t restore, Every high feels lower; it’s a war I can’t ignore. The hunger’s not just in me—it’s eating at my soul, And every step I stumble, I’m further from being whole. (Chorus) I’m a fading shadow, drifting through the night, Searching for a reason, clinging to the fight. But the weight of this addiction pulls me to the ground, A voice inside keeps screaming, but it’s lost without a sound. (Bridge) Your mountains, your rivers, your skies so wide, Why do I feel so small beneath your endless pride? I want to find the strength, to rise, to breathe again, But the frost is in my spirit, and the storm’s beneath my skin. (Final Chorus) I’m a fading shadow, praying for the sun, Wishing for tomorrow, but the night has just begun. If someone hears me crying, please don’t look away, I’m just a soul still searching for a brighter, kinder day. (Outro) The snow falls all around me, covering my pain, A silent, empty witness to my endless chain. But maybe there’s a whisper, a spark within this cold, A hope that someone sees me, a story yet untold.
