lyrics
Surrounding Shadows
In the stillness of the night,
where darkness takes its hold
There's a place where fears unite
where secrets are untold.
Whispers dance upon the wind,
a symphony of dread,
In this realm where I've been pinned,
by shadows overhead.
In the corners of my mind
They lurk and they deceive,
Shapes that twist and intertwine,
a tapestry of grief.
They prey upon my deepest doubts,
magnify my fears,
In this maze of twisted routes,
they shed unwanted tears.
Surrounding shadows,
closing in on me,
Surrounding shadows,
Their presence I can not see.
Surrounding shadows,
losing hold on me,
Surrounding Shadows
Their haunting presence,
now a fading memory.
For in the depths of shadow's reign,
I found the light I seek,
And now I rise above the strain, stronger than I was last week.
But I won't let them claim my soul, I'll find the strength within,
To face the demons taking hold, and let the light begin.
Surrounding shadows,
closing in on me,
Surrounding shadows,
Their presence I can not see.
Surrounding shadows,
losing hold on me,
Surrounding Shadows
Their haunting presence,
now a fading memory.
