Verse 1:
In the corner of a smoky bar,
I sit alone, a faded scar.
Chasing dreams with every drink,
Drowning sorrows, can’t even think.
Chorus:
Oh, I'm lost in the shadows of yesterday,
Fighting demons that won’t go away.
Pour another round, let the pain subside,
But the bottle can't fill the void inside.
Verse 2:
Childhood whispers, haunting my nights,
Echoes of laughter turn into fights.
Bullies screaming, tearing me down,
Drowning in darkness, I wear a frown.
Chorus:
Oh, I'm lost in the shadows of yesterday,
Fighting demons that won’t go away.
Pour another round, let the pain subside,
But the bottle can't fill the void inside.
Bridge:
In the mirror, I see a ghost,
A shell of a man I used to know most.
These scars tell stories, too heavy to hold,
A life interwoven with threads of the cold.
Verse 3:
Try to escape with a drink in my hand,
But the chains of the past pull me back to the land.
Loneliness whispers, a cruel, bitter friend,
Seeking solace, but it’s all just pretend.
Chorus:
Oh, I'm lost in the shadows of yesterday,
Fighting demons that won’t go away.
Pour another round, let the pain subside,
But the bottle can't fill the void inside.
Outro:
So I raise my glass to the nights of despair,
To the battles we fight when no one is there.
In the shadows of yesterday, I will find my way,
But for now, I'm just lost in this endless sway.
