Living in the shadows of the past
Broken, jagged pieces poking at my heart
Pressed down by the dark, oppressed by the light
Wouldn't have lasted a minute, had i not put up a fight
With fate, with destiny, with the creators of this world
Every blow gives a new wound, every second a new weapon is hurled
Too weak to cry, too proud to bow
Too indignant to let it go, can't give up now
I was the one you never did want
The one you wish you were off without
The one you wish you weren't burdened with
The seed you wish that never did sprout
You don't wanna feel that but the past feeds on you too
The shadows come closer, they scare the life out of you
You tower over me trying to get me in line
But that way is yours, it never was mine
Every word you speak hits like an arrow on fire
The pain it causes could put to shame the whole hell's fire
The darkness of night now seems pretty tame
Was always afraid of it until the real shadows came!
It relishes the stingy dark inside me
Laughs at the ghosts of shadows that call themselves 'night'
Why can't you just let b
Why not let me choose this time what is right!
I am the one you never did want
The toy of evil, the joke of a life
The one you wish was broken
To you I am just a stinging knife....
