Palms sweaty but I'm cold
You're staring like you know
Like you see the disguise
I've been wearing for so long

You're close and intent
I smile a hypocrite
Covering up my actions
While trying to silently repent

I was lost but you found me
You know I'm not who I pretend to be
In the dark it's inside of me
Crawling out from underneath
But you can't see
That I'm just a ghost of who I used to be
And the shadows are taking over me

I tried to resist
The temptation that was written on your lips
You said just for one night
Though you knew of the blood staining my figertips

Our passion entangeled in
Your arms my second skin
Wishing for a different life
To stop this before it could begin
That we could stop time
I'd stop time

I was lost but you found me
You know I'm not who I pretend to be
In the dark it's inside of me
Crawling out from underneath
But you can't see
That I'm just a ghost of who I used to be
And the shadows are taking over me

I find reality
I scream I swear
The other side of me doesn't care
I want to forget, to stop these games
But I know these sins can't be washed away

Maybe we should submit to this cold hearted fate
I can't stop this
I'm sorry
But it's too late

I'm not lost
My intent clear
I tell myself I need to hear
But I'm broken to the core
But I can't turn back
You've hit the floor
I know you see
That this is what has come to be
You knew the shadows would take over me
