Shadows

The shadows they tell me
To keep myself happy
Do they even know what that means?

Each ticking of minutes
Pull corners of my mind
I don't even know what that means

Like silence after the rain
I try to keep myself together
Like surfing through the pain
Of keeping my life together

Keep your life
Keep your life
Keep your life

Like silence after the rain
I try to keep myself together
I try not to go insane
I will keep my life together

Dancing along
The soundless tune
Of the candle in my room
The shadows, they taunt me

In my head I hear it
A symphony of utter melancholia
Singing me to a dreamless, unending sleep
The shadows they tempt me

Though it is hard to contest, I try in vain
Grab my guitar, and sing this happy-sounding thing
And if you see me tomorrow, my friend
It was tonight's duel's win
