Shadow

Can hope be taught from a place of hurt?
Can love exist in a world of hate?
Can truth outlast even the faintest of faith?
Will I ever know?
I can feel there’s a devil in me refusing to leave
My life didn’t end, it never began
There’s a thorn in me that won’t leave me be
So when my last breath fails and I start to go
Will I figure out what’s been binding up my heart?
We can’t go back to where it began
The hardest times are the times we’re living in
Right now
We are the shadow
