Shadows to Hold

“Shadows to Hold” 

I stand alone, my phone don’t ring,

Silent screen, it don’t mean a thing.

Used to burn with the static glow,

Now it’s empty, nowhere to go.

Helped ’em all, I bled, I gave,

Buried myself in the lives I saved.

“Friends” just ghosts in a hollow frame,

Distant thoughts, they forget my name.

Drinking’s deeper than the soul,

Party lights, but they turn me cold.

I’m left screaming, but nobody knows,

I’ve got nothing… just shadows to hold.

Every lie tastes the same as truth,

Every smile’s just a fading bruise.

Built their bridges, they let ’em drown,

I’m the echo when there’s no one around.

Dreams are static in a broken head,

Silent voices, the things unsaid.

I gave my heart, it was torn apart,

Still I’m choking in the dark.

Drinking’s deeper than the soul,

Party lights, but they burn me cold.

I’m left screaming, but nobody knows,

I’ve got nothing… just shadows to hold.

Shadows whisper, shadows crawl,

They’re the only ones who answer my call.

Take me under, I can’t fight this weight,

Empty silence feels just like fate.

Drinking’s deeper than the soul,

Party lights, but they turn me cold.

I’m left broken, I’m left alone,

Nothing left—just shadows to hold.

Shadows to hold…

Shadows to hold…

I’m nothing… nothing at all.
