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.
