Shadows of Sorrow

[Verse] Lost in the darkness Consumed by despair Struggling to breathe in this air so unfair These shattered dreams Like broken glass they pierce As I roam through this life Drowning in tears [Verse 2] In the depths of my soul The pain resides A constant battle waged on the inside Through the pouring rain I try to find my way But the weight of existence holds me in sway [Chorus] Oh These shadows of sorrow follow me As I stumble through life So lost and so empty But I'll keep fighting With every breath I take Though the pain may consume me I'll never break [Verse] In the darkest hour My pain starts to seep Like a tattoo poison It stains my skin so deep Beneath the surface It slowly eats away Leaving scars and memories That cannot be erased [Chorus] My pain's like a tattoo Etched within my soul (ooh-yeah) A constant reminder Of the love that took its toll But I won't let it define me I won't let it win I'll break these chains that bind me And begin again (ooh-yeah) [Verse] I wear my heartache like an armor Strong and cold But deep inside I'm crumbling My story left untold The weight of sorrow It drags me to the ground I scream in silence No one hears a sound [Verse] In the darkness I search for the light Bury my sorrows Push back the night (night) The weight on my shoulders It feels like a ton But I'll keep on going Until the battle's won [Verse 2] Every tear that falls Builds my strength within I won't be defeated I'll rise again (rise) Through the storms and thunder I'll find my way With every step I take I'm closer to the day [Chorus] Gonna break through (break through) Break these chains and run Find the light (find the light) when the night is done I won't hide (won't hide) in the shadows anymore I'll stand tall (stand tall) as I open up the door [Verse] In the darkness I search for the light Bury my sorrows Push back the night (night) The weight on my shoulders It feels like a ton But I'll keep on going Until the battle's won
