My Shadow and I

You bathe in sorrow, drowning in hate You kill tomorrow, fighting against the fates Raise hell – wipe that smile off your face Raise hell – fall into place Pick up your entrails – the time has come Leave the bed of nails – let it all burn Raise hell – wipe that smile off your face Raise hell – embrace hell Nobody drives you down the less traveled road Me and my shadow – we know the way through Your face disgusts me, turn it away You think you know at whom you’re staring? Raise hell – I’ll scrape that smile off your face Raise hell – the end of all days What is this defense you’re drowning in? Give up the pretense – it’s sink or swim Raise hell – I’ll scrape that smile off your face Raise hell – the end of all days Nobody drives you down the less traveled road Me and my shadow – we know the way through Right behind me matching every stride Though you’re made of darkness You only appear in the light You made your bed, now lay Why die in peace while living in fear? Didn’t you know your heaven was insincere? Raise hell – unite the fire and sky Raise hell Nobody drives you down the less traveled road Me and my shadow – we know the right way to go

I’ve lived in darkness Stood in the light Crawled through the shadows Between wrong and right One thing I know for sure This is a fight I must win With wings of tin and feet of stone I crash against the ground below It’s not the first time Won’t be the last time Got to pick myself up – get on with the show One thing I know for sure This is a fight I must win I can feel the coming storm There’s a demon I have to control One more fight I must win Fight the demon dwelling within I’m not like I was before I’m something less, I’m something more... This life has been bitter sweet Blackened heart stays on the beat One thing I know for sure This is a fight I must win I can feel the coming storm There’s a demon I have to control One more fight I must win Fight the demon dwelling within Alone in my cloak of lead Choking on words of advice Heard all the answers – most of them lies I can feel the coming storm There’s a demon I have to control One last fight I must win There’s a demon dwelling within This is a fight I must win... A fight I must win... This is a fight I must win... A fight I must win... This is a fight I must win... A fight I must win... This is a fight I must win... A fight I must win...
