SHADOWS

I HATE TO BE THE ONE TO TELL YOU
I CAN'T WALK IN THE SUNLIGHT OF YOUR WORLD
WITH CLOSED MINDS ALL AROUND
AND SOMETHING NOT QUITE FREE
I'D RATHER WALK THROUGH THE SHADES OF HELL
THAN CITY STREETS WHERE STRANGERS DWELL

I'M MOVING INTO SHADOWS WITH NO FEAR
WALKING THROUGH THE BLACKEST TUNNELS
SILENCE IS A BLIND COMPANION TO ME
I COULD WALK ALONE FOREVER IN THIS LAND
AS LONELINESS REACHES OUT TO TAKE MY HAND

THERE'S SOMETHING MOVING IN THE SHADOWS
A MIND THAT'S SEARCHING WITH THE FORCE OF HABIT
PLEASE DON'T SHINE YOUR LIGHT MY WAY,
THERE'S NOTHING I CAN DO - WHY DON'T YOU STEP ASIDE
AS I'M SEARCHING FOR THE THINGS YOU CAN'T ABIDE

I'M JUST WAITING FOR THE BREAK OF DAWN
I'M MOVING ON, DON'T TELL ME THAT I'M WRONG
THERE'S ONE THING TO BE SAID -  KNOWING WHEN IT'S TIME
TO MOVE ON DOWN THE PATHWAYS OF THE MIND
THROUGH THE DARKNESS OF THE SHADOWS
