In the darkness I hide my fears.
In the rain I hide my tears.
As the thunder rumbles through the sky,
I watch as lonely souls pass by.
Deep in shadows is where I hide,
Consumed by all my foolish pride.
To angry to love, but to caring to hate,
So in the darkness, alone I wait.
Deep inside my heart, it burns,
For a tender touch, my body yearns.
So much pain, I feel so lost,
Frozen over like a winter frost.
In the darkness my fears will hide.
Alone in shadows I will reside.
Lost and lonely, I shall cry in the rain,
So no one else will feel my pain.
Scarred by love, I wander alone,
Never to let my feelings be known.
Trapped in this prison I did create,
Lost and lonely in the shadows I wait.
