Petals In The Grass
Shadows Within
The shadows within
Stirs and moans
Downcast and glum
As they roam
No disguise at all
Nothing to conceal
It makes me hurt
And very real
Everlasting sadness
I do show
Invisible smiles
I can't let go
Scowl at the shadows
That lurk inside
Revealing myself
With nothing to hide
Sing a painful melody
Hum a sorrowful hymn
Whisper a strange lullaby
My shadows always win
Stirs and moans
Downcast and glum
As they roam
No disguise at all
Nothing to conceal
It makes me hurt
And very real
Everlasting sadness
I do show
Invisible smiles
I can't let go
Scowl at the shadows
That lurk inside
Revealing myself
With nothing to hide
Sing a painful melody
Hum a sorrowful hymn
Whisper a strange lullaby
My shadows always win
