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.
