Shadow Songs

Black hoodie skies and the rain falls down

Walking through the halls while the world spins around Headphones loud but

my thoughts still scream Trying to hold together every broken dream

Everybody laughing like they got it all right But I’m wide awake

every single night

Writing little poems on a notebook page

Trying not to drown in this silent rage

And I know someday the clouds might break But right now

my heart still aches

I’m a shadow in the back of the room Singing sad songs

underneath the moon Cold hands,

tired eyes, heavy soul Trying hard just not to lose control If

the stars fall down tonight I’ll still be here holding on tight

Even when the whole world feels wrong These scars turn into songs

Old skateboard wheels on an empty street Every memory keeps chasing me

Friends fade out like a burned CD Wondering who I’m supposed to

be

Mirror on the wall says “keep your head high” But sometimes hope

feels hard to find

Still I light a spark inside the dark

Even small flames can leave a mark

And maybe someday I’ll finally see The person I was

meant to be

I’m a shadow in the back of the room Singing sad songs

underneath the moon Cold hands,

tired eyes, heavy soul Trying hard just not to lose control If

the stars fall down tonight I’ll still be here holding on tight

Even when the whole world feels wrong These scars turn into songs

Rain keeps falling on my windowpane

But storms don’t last forever the same

So I’ll keep singing through the night

Waiting for a little light

I’m a shadow in the back of the room But I won’t

stay

lost inside the gloom One day these tired eyes will

see

There’s still a little hope

for me

And if the stars fall down tonight I’ll still be here ready

to fight Even when the whole world feels wrong My heart will

keep writing songs

My heart will keep writing songs
