Lyrics
Poisonous Shadows
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
How much pain do you need to feel?
How much shame do you have to conceal?
There is no sunshine, just endless nights
Nobody's there, nobody cares when you cry
Is it my face you see, do I haunt you in your sleep
On your hands and knees, when you crawl through your nightmares
When there's no more grace, does your heartbeat start to race?
Clawing everywhere in the dark, poisonous shadows
How many secrets do you keep inside?
How many sins do you have to hide?
The haunting masses have blackened the sun
You'll pay for everything you've done, one by one
Is it my face you see, do I haunt you in your sleep
On your hands and knees, when you crawl through your nightmares
When there's no more grace, does your heartbeat start to race?
Clawing everywhere in the dark, poisonous shadows
"... It's like, I woke up, and she was right there
I could almost touch her, although she's been gone for years now
I can feel her... I can feel her watching me"
