This is my place
By Tom Elliott
Verse 1
In a space where the light wouldn’t stay,
I hid from a question too heavy to say.
The booze the pills, the silence, the screams-
Each one a thief in the wreckage of dreams.
Verse 2
Wore my own shadow like second skin,
A war waged silently, and deep within.
Depression gripped, addiction roared,
Every breath felt like a closing door.
[Pre-Chorus]
But even in my darkest days,
there’s a flicker of flame,
A lonely voice that cares to remember my name.
Chorus
I hit my bottom, and I shattered and broke,
Then I found my voice in the silence I spoke.
I’m not a miracle, not some holy grace—
Just a soul who stood up and claimed his place.
Yeah, this is my place… this is my place.
Verse 3
Therapy, the truth, the courage to cry,
To speak my pain, not just to survive.
One step, then two, through the fog and the fight,
I reclaimed the edges of morning light.
[Pre-Chorus]
Scars on my skin, but I’m still alive,
Proof of the deomos, I didn’t let thrive.
Chorus
I hit my bottom, and I shattered and broke,
Then I found my voice in the silence I spoke.
I’m not a miracle, not some holy grace—
Just a soul who stood up and claimed his place.
Yeah, this is my place… this is my place.
Bridge
I’m not what I lost, I’m what I became,
A soul reborn in the heat of the flame.
No longer hiding, no longer afraid—
I’m taking back my power and won’t be swayed.
Chorus
I hit my bottom, and I shattered and broke,
Then I found my voice in the silence I spoke.
I’m not a miracle, not some holy grace—
Just a soul who stood up and claimed his place.
Yeah, this is my place… this is my place.
[Outro]
This is my place…
This is my place.
