Shadow
One tick, one tock
I drag around myself in sleep
Breathe in, breathe out
A heavy sigh escapes from me
Tomorrow becomes today
I try my best to stretch the night
Until the sun comes up
Until i can wake up

My body's tired
My mind is too
Still in a state i drug myself
Shadows forming around the corners of my eyes
My lids are heavy but my mind is aloof
A void
A vast space leading to nowhere but is everywhere
Every night I cover myself with it

Shadow
walking this earth
searching for the sunrise
everywhere I went
I saw your blue eyes

some said you were
nothing but a dream
I held you once for
a moment, it seems

here I stand, I'm facing the end
knowing well, soon death will descend
I see your face as it was that day
so close to me where I lay

from town to town
I fought for what was right
in our love's name
I stuck to the light

the darkness called
to me everyday
you were the only thing
that kept it at bay

here I stand, I'm facing the end
knowing well, soon death will descend
I see your face as it was that day
so close to me where I lay

there's only time to
whisper one last goodbye
smiling at you, my
life departs with a sigh....
i wish the world was happy and never ever sad
where everything was good and never ever bad

it would be so peaceful loving and so kind
to have a world so friendly with trouble left behind

it would be like heaven way up high above
a happy place to live in filled with so much love
you know i love you dearly
you know my love is true
always in my heart a candle burns for you
you are there beside me in everything i do

i will love you always forever and a day
hope the love i have for you will never go away
just being there with you is all i want do
give my heart and soul. share it all with you.
One hug can collapse
my inner galaxy,
bringing me to the verge of tears.
Till I push them back
confused
by the strangeness
of my own madness.
