The Shadows Follow

The shadows follow me

They hold me within their grasp

Hiding me from hungry eyes

I’m a silhouette of a man

Forgotten before I’m ever known

Dying as I live my life

It is lonely here in this darkness

I try and sleep the pain away

In the darkness, hear me cry

In the darkness I live to die

In the darkness, I will wallow

In the darkness, the shadows follow

My hopes and dreams lie dead

Beneath a veil of black

I know death lurks nearby

Watching me... waiting for me...

I’ve tried a million times

To find a place to hide

No matter what I do

The shadows will follow

No emotion inside of me

Everything is so obscure

I cannot tell what is real

The sun begins to fade away

As the music slowly dies

I dream of you as I fade away
