All this light
All this sound
Drowning out
All the voices
Filling me with nothing

And yet I'm still drowning
No one to save me
No one to even care
While I sit here alone
Nothing to do but cry
Emptying myself

I sink deeper and deeper
Never to surface again
And yet I'm trapped
Bound to this world
With chains of gold

Silver rain
Tears of gods

How they weep upon my poor soul
Crushing my world
Casting me into darkness
And yet I still weep

Even though I'm empty
I still weep
No thought but why?
Why must I weep?
When I'm so empty inside?

Why should anyone care?
Why should they give a damn?
They never did before.
Why now?

When I'm on the edge
And there is no sound
Nothing but me drowning
No one to cry for me
No one to care for me

And I stand alone
No one here
No one to care
So alone
So unafraid
But to petrified to try

Wanting it to go away
Wanting it all to end
Can’t hear a word that’s said
Can’t say a damned thing
Just to make you care

You just don't know
What you've done to me
As I cry
Thinking of nothing but you
Filling myself with only you
And yet I am not me anymore
I'm only your shadow
