Hidden in the Shadows

Can you see the shadows
flickering within the light?
Can you see the tornadoes
forming in a cloudless sky?
do you ever feel the cold
in the middle of July?
can you sense the flaws
in the world around you?
see the flaws hidden in the shadows

do you ever feel the oppression
lingering in a sacred church?
do you notice the impression
left by a once happy face?
in a world turned cold and grey
can you still hear the panic?
listen to their now silent screams
hidden in the shadows

nothing is left but the memories
of a once joyful place
but it's now being erased
the only things left
are now hidden in the shadows
