I walk among the shadows,

Shadows of lies, secrets, and ignorance.

Shoulder to shoulder, walking with strangers,

Faceless people staring through each other.

Somebody taps me,

Somebody calls my name—

But the voice is lost in the haze.

 

The real me is fading,

Melting into the vale,

A silhouette in the crowd,

Dissolving like mist at dawn.

I reach out, but the hands are cold,

Grasping nothing but empty air.

 

Before it's too late,

Before I vanish from the world I once knew,

Somebody save me...

Somebody pull me from the shadows,

And let me breathe again.
