Shadow's Embrace

[Verse] Fear like a shadow it crawls inside A whisper of nothing where secrets hide I sit in the silence it’s cold and wide [Prechorus] What’s in the mirror what do I see A face that’s too close too far from me [Chorus] I’m afraid of myself afraid of my name The monster inside me it plays in the flame What is it deep within me what’s calling my shame I’m afraid of myself afraid of the same [Verse 2] The darkness it wraps like a velvet tide No edges no corners no place to hide It laughs in the stillness where I confide [Bridge] Am I the hunter am I the prey Do I break or fade away Who holds the leash who holds the key Is it the fear or is it me [Chorus] I’m afraid of myself afraid of my name The monster inside me it plays in the flame What is it deep within me what’s calling my shame I’m afraid of myself afraid of the same
