Shadow
Close your eyes You will only hear the silence in your mind Falling down In an endless pit of fire and despair Every night Is a tempest of dark mysteries inside Fall asleep Never knowing if you'll wake up again Steep corridors within your brain Twist and turn With the truth and lies in your lonely bed Raging thunders Screech a hunting torment, tuned to drive you mad Every night Is a hell on earth, torture with no end Fall asleep Never knowing if you'll wake up again Steep corridors within your brain And I wish I could rise On the wings of a dream Not to drown in my fear Onto the fight Into the night Hearing a melody Trying to comfort me Darkness will fall Demons will rise Wish I could open my eyes Trying to open my eyes And see through the disguise Hunting for the demon I despise Is there a plan to devise To delay my demise Before hope dies

What lies beyond the door? Sights that I have seen before Urges I've been searching for Can't reach them anymore And birds outside my window Shards of childhood memories Through the window on the wall I look down, afraid to fall The shadow lays there tall Scared I'll lose my soul And birds outside my window Shards of childhood memories Though I still wait for gravity to stop and set me free I remember my mother's tears as she wept upon my bed My child, she said to me, trouble lies ahead Now that voice starts to dissipate, so hard to recognize A silluohette of what once was dims before my weary eyes And a voice calls to me from inside MUST I LIVE THIS MISERABLE LIFE? Mockingbird sings my lullaby and then flies to another land Leaving me with teardrops and feathers in my hand I see the sun and the ocean far away and shining bright And make them a promise that someday I will take my flight And a voice calls to me from inside MUST I LIVE THIS MISERABLE LIFE? Who's that tapping on my door? Just a shadow on the floor Where are you? I implore Can't sense my soul no more And birds outside my window Shards of fading memories Yet I still wait for gravity to stop and set me free

I wait for gravity to show me how I cannot move There are some secrets to the voice that I hear in my head... I dream to reach the stars, but honestly I cannot prove That I can fly Afraid of heights I wait for the sun I WAIT FOR THE SUN TO BURN MY PRECIOUS WINGS For I won't fly at night WASHING AWAY MY DREAMS WITH THE TIDES In feathers and wax I reach for the skies SECRETLY HOPING TO BURN AND DIE For failure is not an option OH, WHY WOULD I DARE TO TRY? We waited for this day so long that our minds have gone Beyond the towering skies beneath our dreaded home Stumbling on ivory dreams, delusional fantasies where we fly on... On to the open fields Where they belong Hearts drawn to the distance Minds lost in misery Afraid of heights I wait for the sun I WAIT FOR THE SUN TO BURN MY PRECIOUS WINGS For I won't fly at night WASHING AWAY MY DREAMS WITH THE TIDES In feathers and wax I reach for the skies SECRETLY HOPING TO DROWN AND DIE For failure is not an option Let the winds take you high Lift your eyes to the sky And though dawn will come soon You can still touch the moon
