10.Finding light again

[Verse 1] Shadows stretching long across the floor I don’t even know what I’m fighting for anymore The fire in my chest has turned to ash Watching every dream and every promise crash A hollow echo in an empty room Wrapped up tightly in this heavy gloom I reach my hands out, but there’s nothing there Just the cold weight of the midnight air. [Chorus] And I’m stumbling in the dark, losing my grip Falling through the cracks where the memories slip Every step I take feels like moving in chains Drowning in the quiet, numb to the pain Oh, I’m searching for a spark, a reason to try Underneath a starless, unforgiving sky. [Verse 2] The acoustic guitar just groans and sighs Reflecting all the smoke behind my eyes I used to run, used to stand so tall Now I’m just a ghost leaning on the wall Whispers in the corner tell me to give up Pouring bitter water in a broken cup The road ahead is swallowed by the night And I’ve forgotten the color of the light. [Chorus] As I’m stumbling in the dark, losing my grip Falling through the cracks where the memories slip Every step I take feels like moving in chains Drowning in the quiet, numb to the pain Oh, I’m searching for a spark, a reason to try Underneath a starless, unforgiving sky. [Bridge] But a quiet friction starts inside the bone A reminder that I’m not entirely stone My foot strikes a match on the rugged floor A tiny flicker opens up a door It’s a trembling flame, but it breaks the black Showing me the path that’s leading back The shadows retreat, the blindfold clears The first warm breath in a thousand years. [Guitar Solo - Melodic, slow, and soaring] [Chorus] No more stumbling in the dark, I’ve found my grip Rising from the cracks where the memories slip Every step I take is breaking the chains Feeling the blood rush back through my veins Yeah, I found that spark, I know how to try The sun is finally breaking through the sky. [Outro] Back to the light again The morning’s moving in The dark is just a memory I can finally see Back to the light… Yeah, I’m back. [Guitar Solo - Melodic, hopeful]
