These shadows of mine are always creeping,
Creeping up towards my light.
The darkness comes and surrounds me now,
Pulling me down into the night.

Always striving but never reaching.
Always crying and never succeeding.

Try as I might I'm always loosing,
Tossed by waves in an angry sea.
Lost in a world that's always churning,
Shattered by the ones who said they loved me.

Always pushing but never gaining.
Always dying and never living.

All my hope is lost in doubt,
All my doubt turned to anger and shame.
Oh how I long to see the morning,
But it's already gone, and the light never came.

I hope you cry when they bury me,
All the tears that were never shed.
And all the scars that I had carried,
Will now be all of your nightmares instead.

Always doubted never trusted.
Always laughed at, never believed.
Now you'll see me for who I should have been,
And I'll be remembered as the one you made bleed.
