I've seen my skin go pale
Every time my hopelessness devour into me.
The cold, dreaded feeling
The dark, terror rising
I ask,
Who are you inside of me
Lurking as a shadow
Pretending to be real?
"I am a paradox
Of all your darkest desires.
Dare not to deny me."
I've seen my eyes glow as gold
Every time I find the light in that dark,
Rising above my fears
Igniting my own spark
I wonder,
How do you shine through the darkness,
Even if I fail to live with my scars?
"I am the flower inside of your soul,
Blooming with all your purest desires.
Endure me, embrace me, nurture me."
And then I know,
I learn,
I accept,
Half the shadow lurks beneath the dark
Cannot diminish the fire I glow,
Yes, I do not deny you, my evil soul
I find peace in both hell and heaven's flow.
