George Foreign - The shadow and the light

A black shadow hangs over me
It just won't go away
It tells me everything I do is wrong
I try to reason, explain myself
Just like I've always done
I'm doing my best with the hand I got
But the shadow doesn't care about my woes
It lays waiting in the dark ready for the time I slip and fall
Once I saw a pretty girl
Her eyes were full of need
A void so deep I could fall endlesly
But as I fell I saw myself
A discarded empty shell
It was my own hurt she was setting free
And the pain has always been inside me
A pain so great and so deep that I just can't let myself begin to feel
So the shadow lies there waiting
And i'm playing hide and seek
Living in my world of fantasy
A crack breaks open every now and then and I can see
I still have to face everything that's real
Someday I will face everything that's real
But I'm stuck holding on
Hiding both from the shadow and the light
