Verse 1:

In the depths of his soul, demons took hold,

Addictions and disorders, stories yet untold.

He fought with every ounce of his might,

But the worst enemy he faced was his own endless night.

Chorus:

Oh, the battle waged within his troubled mind,

Therapies failed, and meds couldn't find

A way to silence the screams in his head,

As he stumbled through the darkness, alone and misled.

Verse 2:

Nosey neighbors, gossiping tongues,

Misunderstandings and judgment clung.

He couldn't explain the horrors they heard,

His nightmares trapped him, the truth obscured.

Bridge:

Bloodshot eyes, a sign of his plight,

Insomnia's curse, not alcohol in sight.

He grew accustomed to their stares and disdain,

But wondered if his children viewed him the same.

Chorus:

Oh, the suddenness struck like a knife,

As the children's service arrived in his life.

He couldn't confess the battles he fought,

For fear it would worsen, his sanity distraught.

Verse 3:

Beyond the furnishings, colors so bright,

Love permeated that house, hidden from sight.

But they took them away, his reason to live,

Leaving behind a hollow life, no solace to give.

Bridge:

His job once a refuge, a place to find peace,

Now a blurry haze, focus began to cease.

Regret seeped through his veins, a constant ache,

As he faced the consequences of his mistakes.

Chorus:

Oh, the shadows of regret cast a long, dark pall,

In a life now empty, he yearned for the call

Of laughter and joy that his children once shared,

Leaving him alone, broken, and emotionally impaired.

Outro:

In the echoes of silence, he stood all alone,

A shattered soul, with no place to call home.

He clung to the remnants of a life once whole,

Lost in the shadows, regret taking its toll.
