Shadows of Selfishness

Shadowed words, silent screams heat the night

Lost in the echo of a selfish lie

Riding this wave of hollowed desires

Burned by the glow of your burning fires

You walk in a world where only you exist

Casting shadows on everything I miss

Your eyes are blind to the cracks in my soul

Aching alone, losing control

Can’t you see what you’ve done?

Lost in your own run

I’m just a ghost in your game

Feeding your flames

So selfish, so blind

You leave me behind

I’m screaming in vain

Drowning in pain

Your pleasure’s a prison, my needs on the floor

Silent tears I can’t ignore

Building walls of indifference so high

Watching as my hope begins to die

Do you even care?

Have you ever dared?

To look in my eyes and see

What you’ve done to me

So selfish, so blind

You leave me behind

I’m screaming in vain

Drowning in pain

But one day, I’ll break free from this cage

No more tears, no more rage

Find my own way, reclaim my light

Stand up proud, fight the fight

Selfish man, this is my goodbye

No more tears, no more lies

Your world’s a lie, now I see

Farewell to what used to be
