The City carved a silhouette
On the ocean after dark
Over The lonely and the unholy
And the red blood beating hearts
Darkness takes it's part
Loveliness taken apart
In the river blood flows
People's true nature shows
Up from the dirty black water
A shadow form black demon
It's raised itself out of the river
And it climbed upon the shore
Neon on the black top
There's a gentle rain downtown
The black demon's all around
The blood pooling underneath me
As it follows on the ground
I kissed you when I saw you
And I stared deep into your eyes
I meant to say ‘I love you’
But instead I said goodbye
Shadows in the city
I’m a stranger to myself
On these streets I’m someone else
Shadows in the city
Like a demon in the dark
Come to tear me apart
For all my good intentions
There's a shadow in my heart
The demon comes to me infrequently
When it does it breaks my precious heart
Feel the darkness take over recently
The shadow possesses
Darkness becomes aggressive
Shall I live this way, indefinitely
My body torn and ripped apart
Nothing left but my body, left there in the dark
I don't know why I do it
I Apologize but it's too Late
I just died, nobody cried
My minds poised into the void
A single tear?
And you leave me there
Life's been taken away
The Shadow Demons upon me
Then it's on it's way
Shadows in the city
I’m a stranger to myself
On these streets, I’m someone else
