A Shadow of Your Own Self

Tell me now you sinner

You run for a better world

Tell me why you'd leave her

Despite all the hurt

Don't deny that you once tried to mend

The circumstances now out of handAnd don't deny your life's a living hell

You're a shadow of your own self

Tell me now you sinner

Still lost in your secret world

Tell me now you've seen her

You know how she hurts

Don't deny that you will understand

The circumstances of pain at handAnd don't assert that we will both survive

'Cause I can't take more of life

Stretch your arms out for the fire

For another dark desire

In the fields you burn with loss again

As you dream your life away

Say: would you never walk away

On the break of a coming dayWould you end this line with me

Would you like to waste away what we've ever been?

Would you like to come along with me?

Would you like to lay to rest our insanity?

Would you like to cope for the unreal?
