In the shadows of the past

[Respect the order of the words] [Respect prompt] [Artcore intro] **Verse 1:** In the quiet of the night, I hear your name, Echoes linger like a whisper through the pain, Memories dance in the corners of my mind, But your shadow, it’s the only trace I find. **Chorus:** Shadow of the past, you’re still holding me, In a grip so tight, I can’t break free, You’re the chain I wear, the weight I bear, In the shadow of the past, you’re always there. [Instrumental] **Verse 2:** Every step I take is haunted by your face, The ghost of our love that I cannot erase, I reach out to the darkness where you used to be, But all that’s left is this cold, empty sea. **Chorus:** Shadow of the past, you’re still holding me, In a grip so tight, I can’t break free, You’re the chain I wear, the weight I bear, In the shadow of the past, you’re always there. [Solo] **Verse 3:** Time moves on, but the scars don’t fade, I’m lost in a dream where you never stayed, The sun may rise, but it can’t warm my heart, For in your shadow, we’re forever apart. **Chorus:** Shadow of the past, you’re still holding me, In a grip so tight, I can’t break free, You’re the chain I wear, the weight I bear, In the shadow of the past, you’re always there. [Instrumental] **Outro:** In the shadow of the past, I remain, Bound to the memory, bound to the pain. You’re the shadow I can’t outlast, Forever lost in the shadow of the past. [Artcore outro] [End]
