Hiding in the shadows isn't easy
Being the one with no friends, no allies
In the ever present war
One against himself
Personal battles are seldom won
With both sides wanting more
Compromise with yourself and you will see
The end never justifies the means
A battle on 2 fronts, good and evil
All while you keep to yourself
The world is your oyster
But you are too busy looking at the pearl
And fail to realize the shell has closed
Hiding away in your personal affairs
And never acheiving happiness
Deeper you fall into the abyss
And never shall see the light
What evil lurks inside myself?
The question you may ask
Unable to notice your wins over your losses
As you relent yourself to Death's chilling grasp
Hiding in the shadows isn't easy
Losing all that you love
Mulling over your dreadful past
Wallowing in self-pity
And extending yourself to the icy whisper of demise
