The shadows softly whisper in my ears,
They make me smile and dry my tears,
They're all I have watching over me,
They're more caring than God could ever be,
At least I can feel their cold hands in mine,
At least they tell me that everythings fine,
God has never done any of that stuff for me,
He just left me to think I was useless and ugly,
He never gave me a single reason to believe,
Maybe its possible that Im just na�ve,
But even so, I much prefer the dark,
God's cold shoulder has left its mark,
Id rather the shadows cold embrace,
They skip to my side with so much grace,
And when the whole world leaves me all alone,
When everyone forgets me and my names unknown,
Still the shadows will be by my side,
To soak up all the tears that I cried,
I know they'll there for me forever,
To help me through anything I cant weather,
They'll be my umbrella when Im in the rain,
They'll be my razors when I need the pain,
They'll scare away whats under my bed at night,
And fight off the sun when I dont want the light,
Whatever gaping wounds I have, they'll mend,
Because in the dark,
The shadows are my friend,
