Ginger Ladd - Every Night I Die Again Lyrics

I stepped into the shadows, with nowhere left to hide
A year of sifting through the pain, no peace I could find
Each session brought the memories I'd buried deep inside
Questions turned to answers, but the truth cut like a knife
I died again, buried alive
Every night I die again, haunted by the past I see
The shadows creepin' closer, and there's no escaping me
Each time I close my eyes, I'm back where it began
Lost inside the darkness of a past I couldn't stand
The faces in my nightmares weren't whispers, they were screams
So vivid and so real, tearing through my fragile seams
The nights felt never-ending, caught between the dark and light
It was hard to tell what's real when I woke up from the night
I died again, buried alive
Every night I die again, haunted by the past I see
The shadows creepin' closer, and there's no escaping me
Each time I close my eyes, I'm back where it began
Lost inside the darkness of a past I couldn't stand
But after years of endless storms, the clouds began to part
The battles I had fought alone, slowly healing up my heart
I found a way to breathe again, to sleep throughout the night
No longer scared to close my eyes, I made it through alright
I'm piecing back together all the parts I thought were gone
The brokenness I carried didn't break me all along
The nights that tried to take me couldn't hold me in their bind
I found a strength I never knew, the peace I fought to find
Every night I die again, but now I see the light ahead
The shadows that once chased me now don't follow me to bed
Each time I close my eyes, it's not as dark as it has been
A story of survival written deep beneath my skin
I died again
But now I rise
I died again
But I survived
