Shadows

i didn't see the darkness as it came
rushing like a rainfall over me
one second there was sun the next there was none

i didn't feel the pressure on my back
like a vampire breathing down my neck
chasing me away from you and everything i ever loved

i never meant to let you down
but i'll never let them take me now
the dream is dust the deed is done
and i've got my hands around the gun

i never meant to play this part
i never meant to break your heart
but here in the shadows we decide
either we're dead or we survive

i think you're getting close to seeing now
it's you and me against everybody else
and i don't want to doubt that you won't make a sound

and i could pretend i was sorry yeah
and i could pretend that it hurts so bad
but everything i do i do it all again

i never meant to let you down
but i'll never let them take me now
the dream is dust the deed is done
and i've got my hands around the gun

i never meant to play this part
i never meant to break your heart
but here in the shadows we decide
either we're dead or we survive

i've got a darkness deep inside
but here in the shadows i'm alive
so if you're looking for me just look straight down
it's here in the shadows i'll be found

i never meant to let you down
but i'll never let them take me now
here in the shadows we decide
either were dead or we survive

i never meant to let you down
but i'll never let them take me now
the dream is dust the deed is done
and i've got my hands around the gun

i never meant to play this part
i never meant to break your heart
but here in the shadows we decide
either we're dead or we survive
