Lovely Shadow

You’re not here… but I still hear you breathing… In the night I hear your name screaming through the shadows that keep on creeping heart so cold, I feel it freezing from the void that won’t stop reaching Walking solo down streets with no light city watching me fade out of sight lost it all, even lost my own voice since your smile turned into white noise Cold blood running, regret in my veins see your face in the glass when it rains talk to myself, you reply in my dreams then I wake up surrounded by screams You once said “never leave me alone” now you haunt every place I call home I hold air like I’m holding you close but the truth is you’re nothing but ghosts In the night I hear your name screaming through the shadows that keep on creeping heart so cold, I feel it freezing from the void that won’t stop reaching Melancholic gangster, soul in decay steel in my chest but my mind drifts away carry this pain like a permanent scar every breath still remembers who you are Bullets don’t hurt like the silence inside it’s the echo of you that I just can’t hide see your face in the flickering lights hear you whisper through endless nights No redemption for someone like me half in darkness, no way to be free sold my soul just to not feel the pain but your memory still floods my brain You’re still here… I can feel you… right behind me… In the night I hear your name screaming through the shadows that keep on creeping heart so cold, I feel it freezing you’re the demon I can’t stop seeing
