Red Helen – Shadows lyrics

The road I take is winding
Carrying this shadow on my back
This twisted mirror of myself
Casting my life in black

The road I take is winding
Carrying this shadow on my back
This twisted mirror of myself
Casting my life in black

This choice that’s paved in front of me is split in two
Killing him or killing you?

His sanity hangs by a thread
Will he ever remember
What it felt, what it felt like to be whole

Hold on
I must remember
Who I am
Before it’s too late

I will burn you to ashes
And I'll take all that you desire
I'm a part of your being
Setting your world on fire

Time is running out
I'll soon have to decide
Which part, which part will live on
And which part I must hide

Which one must hide?
Who will live on?

In comfort he grows with familiarity
Not realising the difficulties of what may pass
Is it too late to save what’s left
Of the fragments of his soul

His sanity hangs by a thread
Will he ever remember?

His sanity hangs by a thread
Will he ever remember
What it felt, what if like to be whole

His sanity hangs by a thread (I don't need you)
Will he ever remember
What it felt (I can do this on my own)
What if felt like to be whole

The road I take is winding
Carrying this shadow on my back
This twisted mirror of myself
Casting my life in black

The road I take is winding
Carrying this shadow on my back
This twisted mirror of myself
Casting my life in black

I am all that you will have left
When you reap what you have sown
