Shadows and Healing

[Intro]  
Whispers in the shadows, echoes of my pain,  
Sitting in this circle, I feel so alone again.  

[Verse 1]  
Group therapy, the walls close in tight,  
Darkness creeping, swallowing the light.  
Every little noise makes my heart race fast,  
Blackouts in my mind, I’m trapped in the past.  

[Pre-Chorus]  
Why me, Lord? Why’d you save me that day?  
Begging for an answer, but I can't find my way.  

[Chorus]  
I’m tired, oh so tired, of the battles I fight,  
Wrestling with shadows that vanish in light.  
I just want to give up, let the silence take hold,  
End this heavy burden, turn my heart to stone.  

[Verse 2]  
PTSD like a thief, stealing peace from my mind,  
Flashbacks and night terrors, no refuge to find.  
Afraid of the footsteps that echo behind,  
Longing for a moment of solace, unconfined.  

[Pre-Chorus]  
Why me, Lord? I’m pleading for a sign,  
The weight of the darkness is heavy on my spine.  

[Chorus]  
I’m tired, oh so tired, of the battles I fight,  
Wrestling with shadows that vanish in light.  
I just want to give up, let the silence take hold,  
End this heavy burden, turn my heart to stone.  

[Bridge]  
In the depths of despair, I search for some light,  
Sitting in my tent, wishing to drift into night.  
But there’s still a whisper that breaks through my fear,  
Hold on for tomorrow, keep pushing, stay here.  

[Chorus]  
I’m tired, oh so tired, but I’ll try to stand tall,  
Picking up the pieces, even when I fall.  
I don’t want to give up, I’ll fight through the pain,  
Just searching for the sun behind the pouring rain.  

[Outro]  
So here I am, feeling every scar,  
Hoping for healing, I’ll reach for a star.  
Maybe there’s a chance, maybe I’ll be free,  
Learning how to live again, embracing me.
