Shadows, reflections of me The person who I was before Reflections of years that have passed Before the downfall of my mind Present day, times of distress Anxiety of days to come Depression, feelings of doom Negative thoughts cursed to stay Stranded, in this crowded cell Silhouettes staring at me Cold, detached from bliss Existence now starting to fade Perceptual decline Oddities emerge Questioning morality What is real? Caught in a grind; a depressive state of limbo A shadow is hanging over me Things don't seem like they've used to be My feelings toward the world seemed to change Familiar faces begin to blend Their features now appear to be null What was once a crowd of diverse entities Are now a bland group of scum Was it a thought, or a personal crisis? That caused a change in my mind? Has the world been spinning differently? Or is everything still all the same? Separate your thoughts from this realm Behold the misery of this world Don’t get caught chasing for a sign That is not there Rapture in my mind Good days now behind Take me away Back when I was okay I could remember back before now Days seemed so full of life But now I can't see what I saw I no longer see the light Days before had shined so bright But now the sun no longer shines for me And my mind gets caught up in the Silhouettes (yelled twice) ----------------------------------------------------------- Now my feelings have begun to fade Apathy fuels the way I live Selfishness is a way of life When you have nothing else you can be I care not for what you believe Your existence means nothing to me I'm a cadaver in a pile of anguish And you are nothing more than the same --------------------------------------------------- Silhouettes staring around hoping to be Meaningful in such a mortal life Seeking contentment in their survival Some of them won't feel the joy I before had lived with hope I possessed the same thoughts as you But as I fell down the rabbit hole I met feelings of torment, suffering, agony Rapture in my mind Good days now behind Take me away Back when I was okay I could remember back before now Days seemed so full of life But now I can't see what I saw I no longer see the light Days before had shined so bright But the sun no longer shines for me And my mind gets caught up in the Silhouettes (yelled twice) Go forth And see Shadows closing Surrounding me
