The shadows is the one place i can hide

Sitting in darkness
In remembrance of the tears
Sitting in the shadows
Trying to forget all of those years
Trying to forget all of those fears

Shadows is the one place
I feel i am safe
The only place i can hide
Why must i fear what i can not see
Why must i hide in shame
I feel pain in my torn up soul

Chorus:
I hide in the dark
To forget everything in the past
I hide in the dark
Hoping my pain wont last
Tear drops keep falling
I continue to cry
But at the end of the days
The shadows is the one place......
I can hide

Why must my memories
Consume my heart
Why must they
Tear me apart
Why must they tear me apart

I keep searching for answers
But yet they can not be found
So i lay motionless
Flat on the ground
Trying to find myself
So i can go about my day
Just go about my day

Chorus:
I hide in the dark
To forget everything in the past
I hide in the dark
Hoping my pain wont last
Tear drops keep falling
I continue to cry
But at the end of the days
The shadows is the one place i can....
I can hide

Remembering this pain
It tears through my heart
This is so real
It is tearing me apart

I don't want help
I don't want your simpathy
I have to make it on my own
Or my heart will continue to weep

Chorus sung slowly:
I hide in the dark
To forget everything in the past
I hide in the dark so my pain wont last
Tear drops keep falling
I continue to cry
But at the end of the days
The shadows is the one place...
I can hide

Regular music:
I hide in the dark
To forget everything in the past
I hide in the dark so my pain wont last
Tear drops keep falling
I continue to cry
But at the end of the days
The shadows is the one place...
The shadows is the only place...
The shadows is the one place...
I can hide

Author notes

I wrote this song because i felt that people could understand why i bottle myself up. yes my depression is clearing up, but still my heart has been hurt and i have been hurt worse than my heart so i am having trouble getting myself back together and i feel the shadows helps me escape all of that

Please tell me what you think

    I came up with an extended metaphor when some similar things happened in my life. It's like a balloon that is popped. You can patch up the holes and blow it up again, but the patches are still there, and because of them, the balloon is more vulnerable to being popped again.

    This is an amazing song, though I'm sorry it has to be so sad. I hope that, in the future, you will be able to write songs that overflow with joy (quoting T.A. Barron here),"as a river in spring overflows with water.
