Living in the Shadows

Creeping through

The night's unaware

Running from the light

Lurking in the dark corners

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

So silently I walk around

Staying in your shadow

Never breaking free

Never wanting to leave

My darkened home

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Look at me

My tears are true

My heart is in dismay

I feel so alone

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

What am I saying?

I am alone

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Strolling along this street of hope

Beside the crystal ocean

I only hear children sing

Sing a song of joy for me

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The street of hope has gone away

Eroded from memory

Entangled in tragedy

Because of my foolish mistake

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The crystal sea is filled with tears

More than what it needs to live

It's dying ever so slowly and painfully

As I am at this very moment

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I wish I could hold you

But I cannot

I am doomed in this timeless zone

Forever alone

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Stepping out of your shadow

I flow out and hide back in

But only when it's dark

For I live in the shadows

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
