Title:
“Soothing Shadows”

Song Lyrics:

Verse 1:
Em C
In the corners of my mind, there lies a place,
G D
Where shadows dance, and fears erase.
Em C
It’s a world in grayscale, no colors in sight,
G D
Where the weak grow strong, and the wrong feels right.

Chorus:
Em C
Soothing Shadows, help me fight,
G D
Through my darkest night.
Em C
Soothing Shadows, be my guide,
G D
In my mind where I hide.

Verse 2:
Em C
In this realm of dreams, I seek solace,
G D
Where the noise fades, in this silent space.
Em C
There’s peace in the chaos, calm in the storm,
G D
In these Soothing Shadows, I find my form.

Chorus:
Em C
Soothing Shadows, hold my hand,
G D
Through this no man’s land.
Em C
Soothing Shadows, let me see,
G D
The strength inside of me.
