Shadows

by manic moments   Apr 16, 2006


I don't like this feeling
Every time I turn my back to the shadows
Its like they are stealing
My very soul, glistening on the windows

I don't know why I am afraid
They are the same shadows that are there everyday
There to help and aid
I just don't know what to say

These shadows seem alive
Frittering across the walls and roof
It seems they will survive
I need more proof

I am insecure in the world of light
I no longer trust the sun and its tricks
Getting a little frights
When the stabs of a insanity pricks

What is wrong with me!
They are just normal shadows
This is not how my life is going to be
Me, to frightened to go out into the meadows

One day, they made a mistake
Those shadows that are alive
Every soul they could take
No one was left to survive

I knew it from the start
The shadows where evil
Now it's my turn to play my part
No more time to be civil

The shadows are killing me inside
Taking away everything of my own
The pain is hard to describe
You will only know if you have been shown

Don't want to live any more
The shadows want to have fun
My heart dying, so sore
The shadows have won
