Lost in the Trenches

[Verse]
I hear the echoes of shots in the night
Demons on my back they grip me tight
Lost my brother now I’m losing my fight
This pain got me walking wrong from right
Mama crying while the rain hits the floor
I knock but no one answers the door
They told me love but then showed me war
My heart ain’t safe
It’s been torn before
[Chorus]
I’m lost in the trenches
Can’t find my way
Dark clouds above me
They block the day
I trusted the streets
Now I’m led astray
Lost in the trenches
I’m here to stay
[Verse 2]
They smile at my face
But their eyes betray
Snakes in the grass
They slither
They play
My heart turned cold
No sun
Just gray
The ones I loved most
They all walked away
I see ghosts of the ones I can’t hold
Their whispers keep me from growing old
I gave my soul for the streets’ control
But all I found was an empty hole
[Prechorus]
Tell me why love’s a double-edged blade
Cut me deep but I’m the one who stayed
I scream at the heavens
But the answers fade
