lyrics

my days are not my own
they're asleep in my fathers home
they tiptoe out the door and see the world without me
in their place is the fiend of my life
born from the wounds of savage nights
when i went the other way
he posts up beside my door
and stares me down though i try to ignore
his eyes are the burning dead
i didn't mean to get this far
i took the lessons my father taught
and let them go to my head

now i sleep

the gaze my shadow casts
now i gaze back
and grow less and less afraid
it's pillow is my guard
it whispers back my thoughts
and then i go away
lost in what i'm not
adrift in what i miss
and i'd never know if i never woke

i was born on a sinking ship.
raised in a dying forest.
moved to crumbling city after crumbling city.
and now wait for at last to come
