Shadow Fighter

Left for dead
No one by my side
Alone I fight
The moonlight is my only sight
Controlling my destiny
Frozen in time
This moment is only mine
I chose a side
Patrolling low and high
To only find
A broken sign
A lonely guide
But I take it all in stride
And my thoughts
Clashing with the tide
I’m running from what I can’t hide
In this game of roulette
Feeling lucky you bet
But you can’t take back
The time that you spent
Would I do it again
Maybe I can pretend
Try to defend
Myself against
The crimes that I commit
Through the darkness I have traveled
And now my path seems narrow
Because the light unravels
What I’ve hiding in my shadow
I’ve been fighting with a black hole
When I think I've dealt the last blow
Slip and fall into the sorrow
Story of a lost soul
And now my heart is hollow
The hardest pill to swallow
Embracing the monster in the mirror Is my constant battle
Watch my reflection shatter until the pieces scatter
Then I repeat the pattern
Like does it even matter

I am the shadow fighter
I am my own demise
I am the living nightmare
The light is my disguise

I am the shadow fighter
I am my own demise
The civil war eternal
The skeletons I try to hide

But they don’t hide
But they don’t hide
But they don’t hide

I hear the echoes haunting and now
My pride is taunting
Proceed with caution
Every drop I bleed is costly
And to my discretion
The fight with my reflection
Only ends in self neglect
And the resurrection
Of the demons that suppress
Me under the constant stress and duress
Impeding my subconsciousness
So tonight I cannot rest
It’s time that I address
The enemy inside descending
From the thoughts that nest
Deep within my chest
The fiend in me obsessed
Extremely weak against the screaming in my head
The dreams I can’t forget
Wake up in a sweat
Pray I get to make another day
Take another breath

Daylight comes again
Daylight comes again

And now my heart is hollow
The hardest pill to swallow
Embracing the monster in the mirror Is my constant battle
Watch my reflection shatter until the pieces scatter
Then I repeat the pattern
Like does it even matter

I am the shadow fighter
I am my own demise
I am the living nightmare
The light is my disguise

I am the shadow fighter
I am my own demise
The civil war eternal
The skeletons I try to hide
