Lyrics
Find another songIt's hard to believe when your life keeps on changing
I thought I was healing
I'm hating this pleasing 'cause my cuts are just deepening
I think I'll stop listening until your words start helping
What do I do with the shadow self?
How do I make it a part of myself
When this darkness, this darkness's calling me
This darkness, this darkness's calling me
In shadows cast by our fleeting desires
We chase a light that the world conceals
Truth is bound in our hearts' quiet fires
Its silent voices that truly heals
No chains can hold when the spirit rises
Beyond the veils of the worlds' deceit
The light within where our hope reprises
Will guide our steps to a truth complete
What is won if no one can see us
And those who can are the great deceivers?
All that's gained are our false achievements
Who will be there to heal and free us?
Through the cracks in ambitions' mirror
We see the masks that we choose to wear
But freedom dawns in the souls' admission
So reconnect and relearn to care
What do I do with the shadow self?
How do I make it a part of myself
When this darkness, this darkness's calling me?
This darkness, this darkness's calling me
This darkness, this darkness's calling me
This darkness, this darkness's haunting me, oh
This darkness, this darkness's calling me
This darkness, this darkness's calling me
This darkness, this darkness's calling me
This darkness, this darkness's calling me
(This darkness, this darkness's calling me)
(This darkness, this darkness's calling me)
(This darkness, this darkness's calling me)
