Their collective experiences of loss, struggle, and, most importantly, resilience, have shaped their music and given them a unique voice in the industry.

Title:

“Shadow of My Former Self”

Lyrics:

(Verse1)
C Em G D
I used to be so full of life, high up in the clouds,
Now I’m just a shadow of my former self, lost in the crowd.
I looked into the mirror but I didn’t recognize,
The face staring back at me, hiding behind these tired eyes.

(Chorus)
G D Em C
I’m the shadow of my former self, can’t see the light,
Lost in darkness, can’t seem to put up a fight.
I’m the shadow of my former self, standing in the rain,
Haunted by memories, drowning in the pain.

(Verse2)
Em G C D
Once I used to laugh so loud, without a care,
Now my laughter’s lost, replaced with this despair.
I used to dream so big, with hope in my heart,
Now I’m just a shadow, torn apart.

(Chorus)
G D Em C
I’m the shadow of my former self, life’s a bitter pill,
Trapped in my thoughts, lost in the chill.
I’m the shadow of my former self, a fading silhouette,
Living in the past, full of regret.
