• A lurking shadow,
    against the wall,
    leaves me breathless,
    and makes me fall,

    The truth is the shadow,
    and the lies are me,
    but the shadow is the thing,
    I can't help but see,

    I can look the other way,
    and try to ignore it's there,
    but during the day,
    is when I really beware,

    It follows during the day,
    and is all around the night,
    for when the shadows appear,
    I close my eyes just at sight,

    and I'll pray for the morning light...
