I am that shadow, the one who is still lost I don't know why it's like that I am that demon, I am that angel that one who will always be stuck I am that darkness, that wreaks of filth you know what it is I mean I am that entity, that used to care I was once a living being I am dead on the inside, I have you to thank I am simply what I am I am that shadow, that was once a man I have since lost my identity I turned to God, I asked for help I have yet to find a reply I am that shadow, that was a man you make me want to die Because of you, I feel so lost you're always on my mind Because of you, I'm only a shell of what I used to be I prayed to God, I prayed to me none seem to help I cried and cried, I fell asleep and now you're in my dreams I was a man, I really cared I guess that wasn't enough I am that shadow; I am that shell of what I used to be My sea is dark, it's so deep I cannot see that light Somewhere inside, deep within me I know it must be there I am that Angel, I am that demon I always fight myself Do I love you, do I hate you? this is my own war I wanted to help, I want to save you From what you cannot see I tried so hard, I tried to fight But I am no longer me I harden up, on the inside to makeup for my loss Because of you, I am a new me I feel there's no love Love is fake, a small illusion of what we call lust It's not real, you stubborn fool you're thinking with your head I drive my car, I leave my past I drive so far away You cannot see, you cannot hear what I want to say I am a shadow, I used to care But now I am a shell Who am I, what am I? I am no longer me.

I am darkness
I am that shadow, the one who is still lost I don't know why it's like that I am that demon, I am that angel that one who will always be stuck I am that darkness, that wreaks of filth you know what it is I mean I am that entity, that used to care I was once a living being I am dead on the inside, I have you to thank I am simply what I am I am that shadow, that was once a man I have since lost my identity I turned to God, I asked for help I have yet to find a reply I am that shadow, that was a man you make me want to die Because of you, I feel so lost you're always on my mind Because of you, I'm only a shell of what I used to be I prayed to God, I prayed to me none seem to help I cried and cried, I fell asleep and now you're in my dreams I was a man, I really cared I guess that wasn't enough I am that shadow; I am that shell of what I used to be My sea is dark, it's so deep I cannot see that light Somewhere inside, deep within me I know it must be there I am that Angel, I am that demon I always fight myself Do I love you, do I hate you? this is my own war I wanted to help, I want to save you From what you cannot see I tried so hard, I tried to fight But I am no longer me I harden up, on the inside to makeup for my loss Because of you, I am a new me I feel there's no love Love is fake, a small illusion of what we call lust It's not real, you stubborn fool you're thinking with your head I drive my car, I leave my past I drive so far away You cannot see, you cannot hear what I want to say I am a shadow, I used to care But now I am a shell Who am I, what am I? I am no longer me.
