Shadows of the Past

[Verse] In the deep Dark corner of his mind A man stuck in pain Yet he's so blind Haunted by memories of better days But he's drowning in sorrow Lost his own way [Verse 2] His family's struggling in the present While he's still living in the past Relentless He believes he's trying But he's trapped Can't cope with his vices Feeling so wracked [Chorus] Shadows of the past in his weary eyes Lost in a world where the pain never dies He's holding on tight But he's losing his grip Living in a fog where the memories still whip [Verse] Caught in a haze of whiskey problems. Tobacco issues got him solvin' Spinnin' contradictions, he is lost. A soul searchin' for escape, no matter what the cost. [Verse 3] The world's a foggy mess, the pain never dies He's holdin' on tight, but losin' his grip, He cries Livin' in a fog, where the memories Don't Die [Chorus] Shadows of the past in his weary eyes Lost in a world where the pain never dies He's holding on tight But he's losing his grip Living in a fog where the memories still win [Outro] (Memories Still Win) [End]
