• everyone has a shadow on the wall
    all different shapes and sizes
    Sometimes it's their greatest fear
    sometimes it's their dreams for tomorrow

    My shadow is on the wall
    and i can see my future inside it
    like a window to the future
    but the shades are closed

    what light is throwing these flickering bits of darkness
    it's the fire that is burning from behind me
    a great inferno blazing higher
    threatening to consume me from within

    hulking monsters from the dark recesses of a nightmare
    tramp across the ceiling
    all their needle teeth a-gleaming
    and their knife claws swiping

    i have to remind myself that all shadows come from light
    i have to remember that dawn ends the night
    i have to know that the sun will burn away them all
    i have to let go the shadows on the wall
