Verse 1] I was lost within the dark shadows Then I heard you say my name But the silence that follows Is all that now remains Of the love that we once had Of our hearts that we had set aflame Now I sit here crying Left to wonder, was it ever real? Or has this always just been a game? Chorus] Your absence has been nothing but a ghost that is haunting my mind still A reminder of a love that was supposed to last forever that now can never be fulfilled I have been searching for the truth Well I am walking in circles in the darkness, nothing I have found But the dark shadows, try to whisper Trying to encase my heart, captivating it, causing it to be bound Verse 2] This soul is slowly drowning in an endless sea of night The darkness has consumed me whole Now i cannot take my flight I tried to find my solace, my heart wants to beat in rhyme And somehow, in the distance I hear your voice An echo of a fading chime Chorus] Your absence has been nothing but a ghost that is haunting my mind still A reminder of a love that was supposed to last forever that now can never be fulfilled I have been searching for the truth Well I am walking in circles in the darkness, nothing I have found But the dark shadows, try to whisper Trying to encase my heart, captivating it, causing it to be bound Bridge] In the broken mirror's gaze, I see a heart that has lost its way A reflection of the world's pain that has scarred and will never fade away I am searching for God's light to guide me Home through this my darkest night But these shadows enwrap me, holding me so very tight And the darkness it is now starting to feel just frigging right Chorus] Your absence has been nothing but a ghost that is haunting my mind still A reminder of a love that was supposed to last forever that now can never be fulfilled I have been searching for the truth Well I am walking in circles in the darkness, nothing I have found But the dark shadows, try to whisper Trying to encase my heart, captivating it, causing it to be bound Verse 3] This soul is being devoured whole by the dark shadows that I have made The darkness is my own prison where I am forever trapped and I cause myself to fray This soul is being devoured whole by the dark shadows that I have made The darkness is my own prison where I am forever trapped and I cause myself to fray It is where I finally lose myself in all my emptiness and all my pain And within the silence, I am left to face what is left of me and remains Outro] Your absence has been nothing but a ghost that is haunting my mind still A reminder of a love that was supposed to last forever that now can never be fulfilled I have been searching for the truth Well I am walking in circles in the darkness, nothing I have found But the dark shadows, try to whisper Trying to encase my heart, captivating it, causing it to be bound But There is nothing left of me that is left to remain
