Deep in the shadows
Where my pain lies
Imprisoned by my fear
Of always being alone
There lies a hope a finding you
A small candle in my cell
I am changed, will you see me?
Worn down and bedraggled, will you recognize me?
{I'm wide awake
Only to find that I've slept through
All my tears from what I thought
Was merely a dream
That face in the mirror
Doesn't resemble me
The way I left
Who have I become?}
When death does come
Will you be there to hold my hand?
But you can't sing me to sleep forever
If I can't find you
{I'm wide awake
Only to find that I've slept through
All my tears from what I thought
Was merely a dream
That face in the mirror
Doesn't resemble me
The way I left
Who have I become?}

Unfortunately, I'm unsure if you read the rules, as this wasn't a rhyming song, as far as I could see. Sorry.

Awesome... parts of it sound like something I might write...
