The shadow and the light

from A new leap of faith by George Foreign

/

lyrics

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
