Shadow Life
Haunted by the lies that blind
False perceptions of true desires
What could have been, what never was
Reflected in the mirrors of the mind
Other words converge, and other lives diverge
Persistent in unreality
What could have been
What would have been
The dreams that made you
What never was
What will never be
The lies you can't escape
The shadow life, it haunts you
These dreams you can never have
The shadow life, it calls you
These lives that you'll never have
A broken soul
A darkened smoke
Another wish you never spoke / a wish you never spoke
A turning tide
A waylaid plan
Another grain of shifting sand
Waste away, chasing ghosts
What is left? All or none?
Push away the blackest thoughts
What could have been
What would have been
The dreams that made you
What never was
What will never be
The lies you can't escape
The shadow life, it haunts you
These dreams you can never have
The shadow life, it calls you
These lives that you'll never have
Empty devotion to hollow ideals
On shattered glass you choke!
The ghosts you chase?
Just lies embraced.
True life defined by paths erased.
Guilt and burden are heavy weights.
The quiet mind burns down the shadow lies!
False perceptions of true desires
What could have been, what never was
Reflected in the mirrors of the mind
Other words converge, and other lives diverge
Persistent in unreality
What could have been
What would have been
The dreams that made you
What never was
What will never be
The lies you can't escape
The shadow life, it haunts you
These dreams you can never have
The shadow life, it calls you
These lives that you'll never have
A broken soul
A darkened smoke
Another wish you never spoke / a wish you never spoke
A turning tide
A waylaid plan
Another grain of shifting sand
Waste away, chasing ghosts
What is left? All or none?
Push away the blackest thoughts
What could have been
What would have been
The dreams that made you
What never was
What will never be
The lies you can't escape
The shadow life, it haunts you
These dreams you can never have
The shadow life, it calls you
These lives that you'll never have
Empty devotion to hollow ideals
On shattered glass you choke!
The ghosts you chase?
Just lies embraced.
True life defined by paths erased.
Guilt and burden are heavy weights.
The quiet mind burns down the shadow lies!
