out of the shadows
Crouching down inside a deep ravine Those angry cries pass quickly by, can't be seen So many ways spent hiding in so many undone plans Forgetting what it's like to fight when no one understands Close call there in the shadows There's a fear in the dark There's no one out there All those feelings, pain and anger, flood back one by one They must be just around the bend, they always come At night as I lay sleeping they come to me in herds Their lies remain, the dreams the same, it's only fleeting words No one calls, there in the shadows There's no end to the dark 'Cause there's no one out there, no one but me... The hours pass so slowly, the life's slipping out of me No way's the right way, is there a way out for me My life's slipping out... Rising up, the night is done, and now the bright lights come Held back in my pittied world where everything's undone A cold wind blows right through me, I've made a hollow shell There's nothing left, just ash remains, enrich the soul, no soul, no soul Close call there in the shadows There's an end to the dark 'Cause there's someone out there, someone like me The hours pass so slowly, the life's slipping out of me No way's the right way, is there a way out for me The hours pass so slowly, the life's slipping out of me Is there a way out for me The hours pass so slowly, the life's slipping out of me Is there a way out for me There must be a way out for me
