shadow

In the night time, I come alive In the daytime, I go to die For the shadow haunts my wounded soul There's no easy way out, no heat against the cold Now I'm running, running from myself And the shadow. Oh the shadow! Stands tall with doom, like the tomb to which we move Whispering news of more common truths Before there was light There was darkness in sight Open your eyes There'll be treasures to find Before there was sound There was silence around Quiet the mind You're treasures you hide Ghosts of the past reminisce as I sit in mournful bliss Doing nothing more than miss their terrifying kiss Memories of regrets slither paralyzing grief Through these life-giving veins, they bring you no relief Now I'm running, running from my thoughts Loud as this world, with silence fraught They stomp inside, singing my every move Thieves of joy of which they disapprove Before there was light There was darkness in sight Open your eyes There'll be treasures to find Before there was sound There was silence around Quiet the mind You're treasures you hide You formed in darkness, cradled safely It gave you all you needed to be here You rest in darkness, close your eyes Retreat to the unknown, there's nothing to fear! There's nothing to fear! Before there was light There was darkness in sight Open your eyes There'll be treasures to find Before there was sound There was silence around Quiet the mind You're treasures you hide Before light, darkness Open, open your eyes Before sound, silence Quiet, quiet the mind
