Shadows in My Mind

Woke up to the sound of nothing at all

The mirror cracked but I can't recall

If it broke last night or years ago

My reflection whispers

"you don't know"

Shadows in my mind

They never sleep

They dig so deep

They dig so deep

I’m running but the ground’s not moving

Tell me

Is this losing

I saw the sun but it burned too fast

Held its warmth but it couldn’t last

The clock is ticking but the hands stand still

Time's a ghost that bends to its will

Will it fade

Or will it stay

Shadows in my mind

They never sleep

They dig so deep

They dig so deep

I’m running but the ground’s not moving

Tell me

Is this losing

A laugh is a lie when it’s painted on

I’m a faded note in a broken song

The walls close in

They know my name

But I’m too tired to play their game
