"A Shadow Upon My Soul"
- by Paul Millard
I moan from within, this pain of my skin
as I rock myself into my shell I pretend that I'm fine, when all of the time, I'm actually going through hell! Oh! The tears in my eyes, from the dreams that have died There's a shadow upon my soul How I long to be free from what's killing me so my body can once again be whole You know there ain't much pride when your stuck inside a slowly sinking ship! But where do you go, when your down real low and you've thrown in your last chip. The colors in my head make me think I'm dead, when I'm actually just asleep. Everything seems real, tell me what's the deal am I sleeping just to deep? I refuse to awake to this life I escaped why you bother I just don't know Now they lock me up, with my empty cup and I reap the life you have sown I'm screaming inside from the pain that I hide beneath the carnival face I have on I pray to above for a Teddy Bear hug for that will make the pain be gone
