The shadows
Every night i lie awake
my eyes never stop moving
the shadows dance around me
and my heart races
i reach out to nothing
but they embrace my hand
my laughs ones of insanity
but their laughs only echo mine
and my smile welcomes them
that cruel yet calming feeling
and for my smile i see their many
no matter how dark it gets
i see them as clear as day
they move as if to embrace me
no matter how many cuts they leave
i keep going back to the dark
their wounds are my drug
and the shadows are my addiction
my eyes never stop moving
the shadows dance around me
and my heart races
i reach out to nothing
but they embrace my hand
my laughs ones of insanity
but their laughs only echo mine
and my smile welcomes them
that cruel yet calming feeling
and for my smile i see their many
no matter how dark it gets
i see them as clear as day
they move as if to embrace me
no matter how many cuts they leave
i keep going back to the dark
their wounds are my drug
and the shadows are my addiction
