As I walk the floors of loneliness,
I hear the constant screams inside my head,
It's those who scream the loudest,
That have no words that can be said.
I stumble alone through the streets at night,
Holding tightly to all my fears,
It's the feeling there's no end in sight,
As there's no end to my countless tears.
Oh, the shadows keep on dancing,
In the corners of my heart,
Each whisper feels like a brand new scar,
Tearing me apart.
The battles I'm fighting, they play out in my mind,
It's those voices in my mind that I fear to find.
I cry alone in my darkest hours,
While hiding deep inside my bed,
Confused, tattered, and torn from all the craziness inside my head.
I shake like a frightened child, scared of what is next to be,
For it's those voices in my mind are whose faces I'm scared to see.
Oh the shadows keep on dancing,
In the corners of my heart,
Each whisper feels like a brand new scar,
Tearing me apart.
The battles I'm fighting, they play out in my mind,
It's those voices in my mind that I fear to find.
As I look back to all my yesterdays,
When the laughter never seemed to end,
But for now, it's just sadness and tears,
And a road that just won't seem to bend.
Another night is now upon me,
As the darkness settles in,
I wonder what did I do that was so damn wrong,
And all the could-have-beens.
Will the voices return once again,
And this time will they hear my pleas?
For it's those faces from my past,
That haunt me like a cruel disease.
As the moonlight shines through my window,
I hold on tight to every breath,
Searching for the hope that slips away,
As I walk the floors of loneliness.
Oh, the shadows keep on dancing,
In the corners of my heart,
Each whisper feels like a brand new scar,
Tearing me apart.
The battles I'm fighting, they play out in my mind,
It's those voices in my mind that I fear to find.
So I'll keep walking these lonely floors,
And facing my demons along the way,
But I'll stand strong through the darkest nights,
Just waiting for the light of day.
