A single movement attracts my attention A quick turn to see it disappear My struggle to witness what is real Thoughts prey on a realistic view Here is where the daylight fade Darkness leans on a morbid cain Thought's deprived of sterile day A haunting by the shadow play So very still and silent I lay To trace your steps through shadows way The shadow represents a time before I knew A presence felt, cold and by my side I am your captive audience Show yourself, and prove I am not mad Here is where the daylight fade Darkness leans on a morbid cain Thought's deprived of sterile day A haunting by the shadow play So very still and silent I lay To trace your steps through shadows way I can hear you. I know you are there. Your outline against the wall betrays Standing in the dark, lurking in my dreams I can hear your breathing across the room Insignificant within the infinite A road I have traveled many of day Swallowed by the black in nights sky Left to admire the beautiful failure Not much will become of me this night Not any night when the gallows fill Sleep will find the deserts sand This crushing fall steals my breath away Thought's deprived of sterile day A haunting by the shadow play So very still and silent I lay To trace your steps through shadows way
