Drowning in shadows while lost in Dreams

[Intro]  
In the quiet of the evening, I sit here and fight,  
A battle of shadows, distinguishing wrong from right.  
Time slips through my fingers like grains of sand,  
Chained to this desk, but I long to stand.  

[Verse 1]  
Beneath these flickering lights, my dreams chase the clock,  
Trading hours for dollars, while my heart starts to mock.  
I wear a mask of routine, hide the fire inside,  
But the devil's whispering, feeding on my pride.  

[Pre-Chorus]  
Oh, I reach for the heavens, but the ground pulls me down,  
A tug of war between this life and the dreams almost found.  
While bills are the shackles, my heart's looking free,  
I fight in the silence, craving what’s meant to be.  

[Chorus]  
Am I lost in the shadows, drowning in the grind?  
Or am I just a warrior, rewriting the lines?  
Each step that I take, it’s a dance with my fate,  
I long for the light, but the hourglass waits.  

[Verse 2]  
Faces come and go, drifting in and out of sight,  
Some judge by my struggle while others shed their light.  
I want to scream out love, unleash all my hate,  
But the chains of a paycheck seem to seal my fate.  

[Pre-Chorus]  
Oh, I keep my heart open, though the world’s bitter cold,  
With God’s hand outstretched, I reach for dreams untold.  
But time's a cruel thief, slipping out of my hands,  
While shadows lurk closer, painting over my plans.  

[Chorus]  
Am I lost in the shadows, drowning in the grind?  
Or am I just a warrior, rewriting the lines?  
Each step that I take, it’s a dance with my fate,  
I long for the light, but the hourglass waits.  

[Bridge]  
If I break through the barriers, what’s waiting for me?  
The whispers of freedom beyond this routine.  
I’ll bridge the divide 'twixt the love and the strife,  
Casting aside worries to breathe a new life.  

[Outro]  
So I’ll battle each morning with courage in my heart,  
Fighting the shadows, reclaiming my part.  
For I’m more than a cog, I’m a flame in the night,  
With each step, I’ll build a path toward the light.
