The Shadow

Thoughts of a time painted black
A haunted past always coming back
When I'm stuck here in the place I was before
And the hope it beats against a distant shore

And I'm falling down
When I'm falling down
Still I'm falling down
I am screaming
But it doesn't make a sound

When the dawn has broken
And the morning comes
I struggle with each moment
And the rivers run

The darkness is surrounding
In the shroud of life
Each second is a lifetime
Like a turning knife

And I'm falling down
When I'm falling down
Still I'm falling down
I'm still screaming
Will it ever make a sound

There's a black dog still waiting at my door
But I'm refusing to be anxious like so many times before
When my loved ones are there to get me through
It's a paralyzing battle in pursuit

And I'm falling down
When i'm falling down
Still I'm falling down
I'm still screaming
But I know you hear the sound

Fragments of my mind
No one really sees what's going on inside
If only I could be the way they see me
Maybe one day I'll be free

And I'm falling down
When I'm falling down
Still I'm falling down
I'm still screaming
But I know you hear the sound
I'm still screaming
But I know you hear the sound
I'm still screaming
But I know you hear the sound
