Shadow Self 가사

The shadows they follow until they swallow you whole Extinct the light and welcome the dark Distinguish the shapes amongst the dark I can barely see but I can feel the shadows calling to me It’s like being isolated in a narrow room Locked from inside no possibility to escape or move All I can do is live with them and wait until I can be free again There’s no way I can escape Their whispers crawling down my neck Tempting me to join the darkness Trapped in my mind I can't escape Facing a version of myself that I hate All these dark thoughts led me to them Tainted souls, leader of my inner hell Dragging me to the gate Leaning to temptation Embracing my enemy Their touch feel like blades Stabbing through my flesh Chained, I am now their prisoner Without them so incomplete And when they're gone I cannot be Can no longer live in denial No guilt no shame Ready to give myself to the darkness They're standing here looking down on me Ready to drag me to a nightmare Feeding from my sins using me as a vessel The gate will open leading me to the ultimate crossing The shadows and I will become one mighty being Accepting the suffering will guide me to endless power I'll paint my eyes with the falling ashes from the sky Without them so incomplete And when they're gone I cannot be Can no longer live in denial No guilt no shame Ready to give myself to the darkness Sleep Evermore dream In the darkness Promises of peace if I cease to breath Suspended from my own gallows Specters of failures creep out from the black Expose the shadow that I’ve become The light needn’t seek me I’ll suffocate alone in the gloom
