Silent Shadows
Silent shadows haunt the room
With the chilling fear of impending doom
The past is here to torment me again
Those terrible memories from way back then
One summer night I won’t forget
With nothing left but lifelong regret
This night is dark it’s lonely and cold
Mindless thoughts of an empty soul
The love I’ve lost has left me blind
As despair tortures my decaying mind
Cast into the bottomless pit
If there’s a hell then this is it
Wake me up from my worst nightmare
Hold me, kiss me, tell me you care
But there’s no one here in this empty room
I’m alone I’m dead I’m in a tomb
Silent screams that no one else hears
As I lay drowning in a pool of tears
Scared to death as fear rushes in
Chills crawl like spiders across my skin
A twisted shell cursed with pain
This wretched life has driven me insane
