I'm speaking form my heart now
all though I do not know how
I'm trying to be brave
but all the while my faith caves

I'm trying to see from eye to eye
and trying my best not to lie
but no matter how I try
the truth I can not find

I want so bad to speak to you
but fear that I might hurt you too
and so I just run away from you
because I am afraid

My faith is strong but leaving me
with what I fears the worst of me
and I do not want for you to see
the monster that lives inside of me

I turn from darkness
but then its night
I try my best to do whats right

but every time I get so close
something happens and I choke
because I am the darker sort
that rather watch the rain fall

I like the sun, don't get me wrong
but when it shines I can't be calm
for then the dark must turn away
and so you see that I can not stay.

Forgive me will you, its not my theme

to try to hurt you, or come off mean

but the truth lies in the in between

and I am too fond of shadows
