Shadow

Shadow 

There's a shadow that just follows me

And I can't hide I recognize it's me

I can't keep running I'm coming undone 

This darkness it's suffocating

It's purpose is to infiltrate me

I can no longer escape it 

So I must turn and face it

I can't just stay here so I 

Just pray in fear oh I

Won't fear for my life no I

Rather fear for my soul

I've taken my dreams and drowned them

In the pool of sorrows then found them

In the reflection of what I've hated

It's the perception that I've created

Who is there to talk to when

All I do is talk through them

How can anyone help me if

I'm the only one tearing me in

The pieces I've scattered

Does it even matter

It's my life alone 

And I'll die alone

It's because of this place I see

It in every face I meet in it

They call this world home when

I feel so alone in

Everyone else's life

Why won't they let me die

And let me live in my

Shadow that swallows me whole

Hollows my bothering soul

Leaves me empty to feel

Everything that's truely real.
