JUMPING AT SHADOWS...


Too many times before
The shadows took me in
Smothered me in evil
Drowned in my faults and sins
Painfully I crashed and burned
Yet kept it from the world
Hid the lonely bleeding heart
Of every teenage girl
Every year it happens
I feel like I'm to blame
Yet find myself incapable
Of crying tears of shame
So now, I jump at shadows
In fear of what could be
I could not resurrect myself
If, again, they conquered me
They hold a dark foreboding
Consumation of the light
And as the day comes nearer
They seem to shroud my life
My friends all say I'm petty
Coincidences aren't that real
But I know they are all wrong
My wounds too deep now to heal
The time, I know, is coming
I feel like Noah in his ark
Destruction is inevitable
Only I stand in its path
Nobody seems to understand
Its deja-vu again
For the shadows all have faces
And all of them are men
They try me and they taunt me
They get inside my head
And so approach this day
With a growing feel of dread
If, by sone Godly miracle
I pass the judgement day
I must have a Guardian Angel
For this one hope I pray
My friends all say that shadows
Are better left untouched
They linger in the corners
And slowly gather dust
Most laugh at my predictions
But my fears are real, I know
And until D-Day is safe and over
I'll keep jumping at shadows
