♪ Shadow of Me ~ by Sommer

Описание: Sometimes I feel like if people I know and love learned what I'm like behind a closed door, would they still look at me the same way or would they leave me, so I have tried to write a song about it.

LYRICS:

There’s a whisper in the quiet, a shadow in my mind,
A darker voice that lingers, a monster left behind.
It scratches at the surface, begging to be free,
A ghost I try to bury, but it lives inside of me.

I see it in the mirror, it wears my broken grin,
A stranger in my reflection, the chaos deep within.

Oh, what if it takes me, swallows me whole?
A tempest of madness that shatters my soul.
Will they run from the terror, the beast they don’t see,
When the mask falls away, and they meet the shadow of me?

I keep it in the silence, locked behind my eyes,
But cracks are forming slowly, where truth and nightmare lie.
It hungers for the daylight, to steal the love I’ve known,
To leave me in the ashes, cursed to walk alone.

Its whispers grow louder, it’s drowning out my pleas,
A war within my spirit, a storm beneath my seas.

Oh, what if it takes me, swallows me whole?
A tempest of madness that shatters my soul.
Will they run from the terror, the beast they don’t see,
When the mask falls away, and they meet the shadow of me?

I’m afraid of losing grip, of slipping past the line,
Afraid they’ll see the darkness I’ve tried so hard to hide.
But what if they could hold me, before the breaking starts,
And love me through the ruin, this battle in my heart?

Oh, if it takes me, will they still care,
Or leave me abandoned to drown in despair?
I’m begging for mercy, for them to believe,
That I’m more than the shadow that lives inside me.

There’s a whisper in the quiet, a shadow in my mind,
But maybe I’m still human, maybe love won’t leave me blind.
