The Me I Left Behind
About the Song
The past that creeps within us, and has a powerful hold. The shackles in which we try so desperately to break free As it plays a part in controlling us. Sometimes to better us, and others to shackle us to our demons.
Lyrics
The Me I Left Behind
Stole the light, left shadows in sight.
Now ten years later, it's still holding tight,
A ghost in my chest, a never-ending fight.
I’m scratching, I’m crawling, through the cracks of time,
Chasing the dreams I let fall behind.
With every prayer, every star, every whispered line,
I search for the spark, the me I need to find.
The mirror reflects someone I don’t know,
A stranger built from pain and shadowed glow.
But somewhere within, the embers still show,
A flicker of life, a seed that can grow.
I’m scratching, I’m crawling, through the cracks of time,
Chasing the dreams I let fall behind.
With every prayer, every star, every whispered line,
I search for the spark, the me I need to find
The me I need to find,
So here I stand, reaching through the dark,
With hope as my compass, love as my mark.
I’ll rise from this shadow, no longer confined,
To reclaim the me I thought I’d left behind.
I’m scratching, I’m crawling, through the cracks of time,
Chasing the dreams I let fall behind.
With every prayer, every star, every whispered line,
I search for the spark, the me I need to find
The me I need to find,
So here I stand, reaching through the dark,
With hope as my compass, love as my mark.
I’ll rise from this shadow, no longer confined,
To reclaim the me I thought I’d left behind.
