Perpetual Shadow
You hear it
Echoes of a voice
Down an empty hall
You strain yourself, confuse yourself
All to understand
But it’s all in vain
Its all for the gain
Of a Pain that will turn you inside out
Let go, let go
Don’t let it get you
Hold on, pull through
I’ll be there by your side
I’ll hold you, hug you, make you realize
You don’t have to be alone
No matter if you try
Your silly and foolish
Contemplate your place
Listen to what they say
Make yourself change
Yell to me
“What for?
Why be me, when I can be them?
Why hold on when I can let them?”
Listen to yourself
Listen to your words
Your stupid
Listen to yourself
Listen to your words
Your stupid
Let go, Let go
Don’t let it get to you
Hold on, pull through
I’ll be there beside you
I’ll hold you, hug you, and make you understand
I won let you be alone
No matter if you cry
Kill yourself slowly
I don’t care
But when all is said and done
I’ll be with you in the end
In a place where there’s no pain
No Gain of being in vain
No gun to hold to your head.
Pull the trigger… live your new life
Float on… frost your heart
Go to hell… But I’ll be there
Pull the trigger… live your new life
Float on… frost your heart
Go to Hell… But I’ll be there
Stalking you
Holding you
Cursing you
Yell at me
Tell me to leave you be
I wont listen
Your important
I’d die if you left me
Let go, let go
Don’t let it get to you
Hold on, pull through
I’ll be there by your side
I’ll hold you, hug you, and tell you through and through
You’ll never be alone
No matter if you die
I love you
So tell me
Do you doubt I’ll follow you?
Trust me to my word?
Will you scoff when you see I’m not there?
Staring death in the eye with you?
I’ll be there
Just wait
I’ll hold your hand in mine
And when al is gone
Said and done
You’ll know the truth was never stretched.
Let go, let go
Don’t let it get to you
Hold on, pull through
I’ll be there by your side
I’ll kiss you, love you, and try to understand
Why you want to be alone
Even when your dead.
Push my away
Tell me not to stay
I’ll love you even then.
