Out of the Shadows lyrics

Crouching down inside a deep ravine

Those angry cries pass quickly by, can't be seen

So many ways spent hiding in so many undone plans

Forgetting what it's like to fight when no one understands

Close call there in the shadows

There's a fear in the dark

There's no one out there

All those memories, pain and anger, flood back one by one

They must be just around the bend, they always come

At night as I lay sleeping they come to me in herds

Their lies remain, the dreams the same, it's only fleeting words

No one calls, there in the shadows

There's no end to the dark

'Cause there's no one out there, no one but me...

The hours pass so slowly, the life's slipping out of me

No way's the right way, is there a way out for me

My life's slipping out...

Rising up, the night is done, and now the bright lights come

Held back in my pittied world where everything's undone

A cold wind blows right through me, I've made a hollow shell

There's nothing left, just ash remains, enrich the soul, no soul, no soul

Close call there in the shadows

There's an end to the dark

'Cause there's someone out there, someone like me

The hours pass so slowly, the life's slipping out of me

No way's the right way, is there a way out for me

The hours pass so slowly, the life's slipping out of me, is there a way out for me

The hours pass so slowly, the life's slipping out of me, is there a way out for me

There must be a way out for me
