Shadows
Je t'adore
Is how the french say they love you
But is just saying I love you
good enough
To think of anything in the world
People choose to say I love you
So many times
So many lies
You can stand there and wait
But is it ever enough
Waiting for someone to hold you
And say they love you
To watch and wait for love
Hoping someone will love you
To hear lies spewed from their forsaken mouths
Breaking you heart, piece by piece
Hope and life dying in your eyes
As the world passes by you
Not even a glance spared
Your very existence breaking
The life you once knew
Disappearing into a cold, dark world
Where shadows seek the hopeless
Feeding on the sadness and anger
There's always a flicker of light
At the very top of the cold, dark world
But the flicker is quickly killed off
By the anger and hatred
Every fiber in your body
Yearning to kill and hurt
The tiny flicker of light and hope
Your very heart, a black hole
You can feel the anger and hatred
Burning for blood
Like a leech
They hide in the shadows waiting, hoping
They feed on the fear
Of innocent children
With satisfaction
Lurking on their minds
You watch as the world continues on
Not even a glance spared
The anger and hatred burning
The shadows lurking over you
Not even love can save everyone
Not even shadows who lurk at night
Waiting for their next victim to walk along
A cruel smile painted onto their faces
Love doesn't always save everyone
It can kill anyone with just a touch
Not even trying
To spare a life
Is how the french say they love you
But is just saying I love you
good enough
To think of anything in the world
People choose to say I love you
So many times
So many lies
You can stand there and wait
But is it ever enough
Waiting for someone to hold you
And say they love you
To watch and wait for love
Hoping someone will love you
To hear lies spewed from their forsaken mouths
