Shadows and Salvation

Lost in shadows, caught between dreams and fears

A soul on the edge, whispering secrets in my ears

Walking the line where love and darkness collide

A dance with temptation I cannot hide

They call me an angel with a devil's smile

Taking what I need, walking that thin wild mile

If only they knew what I hide beneath

The love I fake, the pain I weave

A siren’s song, a whispered plea

Trying to find a way to set myself free

In this purgatory, I seek the light

Battling shadows deep in the night

Love’s the reason, love’s the fight

Living, craving, holding on tight

They surrender easily, unaware of the cost

A hollow victory, what’s gained is lost

Inside I’m aching, trying to break away

From this dark role I cleverly play

If only they saw the tears I hide

A gentle soul in a wicked guise

The truth I hide, the love I seek

A fragile heart too tired, too weak

In this purgatory, I seek the light

Battling shadows deep in the night

Love’s the reason, love’s the fight

Living, craving, holding on tight

Dreams of a dawn where I’m free from the chains

Facing my fears, shedding the pains

A new chapter, a chance to heal

To love and be loved, to finally feel

Until that day, I walk this line

With hope in my heart and a fragile mind

Love’s the anchor, love’s the song

To guide me home where I belong
