im dancing in the dark

I'm dancing in the darkness of my own creation Lost in the maze of my own imagination Trying to escape the shadows that I find Feeling like I'm losing my mind Chorus: Shadows in my mind, can't leave them behind They haunt me in the silence that I'm trapped inside Searching for the light, but it's so hard to find Shadows in my mind, they're all that I find Verse 2: I paint on a smile, but underneath I'm breaking Trying to hold it together, but my heart is aching I'm reaching out for help, but no one sees The battles that I fight, the demons within me Chorus: Shadows in my mind, can't leave them behind They haunt me in the silence that I'm trapped inside Searching for the light, but it's so hard to find Shadows in my mind, they're all that I find Bridge: I'm tired of pretending, I'm tired of the pain I need to find a way to break these chains To let the light in, to find some peace To release the shadows, to find my release [breakdown instrumental] [breakdown instrumental] I'm dancing in the darkness of my own creation Lost in the maze of my own imagination Trying to escape the shadows that I find Feeling like I'm losing my mind Chorus: Shadows in my mind, can't leave them behind They haunt me in the silence that I'm trapped inside Searching for the light, but it's so hard to find Shadows in my mind, they're all that I find Verse 2: I paint on a smile, but underneath I'm breaking Trying to hold it together, but my heart is aching I'm reaching out for help, but no one sees The battles that I fight, the demons within me Chorus: Shadows in my mind, can't leave them behind They haunt me in the silence that I'm trapped inside Searching for the light, but it's so hard to find Shadows in my mind, they're all that I find [fade out to end of song] Chorus: Shadows in my mind, can't leave them behind They haunt me in the silence that I'm trapped inside Searching for the light, but it's so hard to find Shadows in my mind, they're all that I find [end of song]
