Why is it now that all the shadows speak to me and know my name
I think it's all inside my head- somehow I know it ain't the same
Close my eyes and try to focus, but I can't remember how
Light a candle in the dark, she whispers 'We're your friends now'
Pulling loose is running dry
Try to hide, wish I could fly
I feel like I'm going to die
I feel my skin crawl, I want to peel it away
I think my head's going to explode any day
I wake up holding on to empty space
I close my eyes and I can still see that face
As the sun sets and I arise to find my whole world has changed
Look for who I used to be, but I don't even know his name
I'm trying hard as I can to make a difference to myself
Just burn me now, I know I'll end up in hell
Try to hide from eyes of ice
Pull me near, too weak to fight
I can't take another night
I feel my skin crawl, I want to peel it away
I think my head's going to explode any day
I wake up holding on to empty space
I close my eyes and I can still see that face
Am I insane, believing all these crazy things I've seen?
Where is the edge I'm supposed to fall off into nothing?
I turn around to face the shadows, and then I step through
Come out the other side, not me but something new
'Want to die? You're too strong
Think you're alone? I guess you're wrong
We've been with you all along
I feel my skin crawl, I want to peel it away
I think my head's going to explode any day
I wake up holding on to empty space
I close my eyes and I can still see that face
