Shadow

murphyh72096

There's static in the speakers

Ripples in the lies

They're watching and they're waiting

They're hoping I could die

I know I'll keep on fighting

No matter what it takes 

It's a preying built on fear

From predators and fakes

Three years and counting I've fought it

Still standing here on my own

They claim that I've got no talent

Instead of creating their own

They make me feel touched and tormented

It's a game that's impossible to win

Still I'll keep moving on forward

Darkest places I've ever been

Lay in the darkness, the laughter and mocking

Don't know quite when the devil came knocking

But when I see my shadow move, it isn't too shocking
