A Place...

A shadow lingers in the corner light

It whispers echos deep at night

It feeds on silence drinking fear

Pulls me closer draws me near

It leaves its mark on where I stand...

I'm on my way the pull is strong

Its breath becomes my siren song

On my way through fractured time and endless gray

I'm on my way not here to stay...

I can't delay

It knows my steps before they fall

It's carved my fate into the wall

The air is heavy the world turns thin

I keep on running, drawn on in

Why do I keep looking on within

I'm on my way the pull is strong

Its breath becomes my siren song

Through fractured time and endless gray

I'm on my way I can't delay not here to stay

Was it born from me or set apart?

A hollow echo of my heart?

It grows with every step I take

A phantom hunger I can't shake

And I won't be able to catch a break

And when I find it, will I be whole?

Or will it feast now upon my soul?

The shadow beckons come what may

I'm on my way not here to stay

Not here to stay
