Shadows Lyrics

Lost in a cycle,
Born of desolation
Fear has become my only friend,
As the shadows creep up on me,
The sleeplessness ceases to end

In the gloom of the night my mind lingers in tragedy,
Tending to dwell on the past, susceptible to insanity

How did these shadows find me?
What do they want from me?
Though I doubt anything I give will satisfy their needs

I resent the light within me,
Giving in to these shadows

This degradation flows into my very being,
The thought of reparation drains me of all feeling

I think, therefore I am
But what am I supposed to be?
This life has taught my eyes to never truly see

I resent the light within me,
Giving in to these shadows
Holding in my own compassion,
For fear of being left behind

And now I'm broken, I lie in torment,
My world is dead and so am I,
Now I've spoken, so leave me dormant,
Woe is me, O' misery

Staring into this illusion,
Will I be free of my delusion?

Shadows embrace me,
The dark consumes me,
And when I finally sleep,
I will be at peace

I resent the light within me,
Giving in to these shadows
Holding in my own compassion
For fear of being left behind

Left behind
I think, therefore I am
I think, therefore I am
