The shadows are my home,
The dark is where I stay..
My heart can see the light,
But my mind is far away..

The shadows are my home,
The dark is where I stay..
I try to sometimes escape,
But there is no get away..

The shadows are my home,
The dark is where I stay..
Its where my demons haunt me,
Its where they come to play..

The shadows are my home,
The dark is where I stay..
I let the smoke surround me,
Faded is my new name..

The shadows are my home,
The dark is where I stay..
Like the feelings inside her,
Deep down is where they lay..

The shadows are my home,
The dark is where I stay..
But trust for me doesn't go so well,
Because abandonment is no stray..

The shadows are my home,
The dark is where I stay..
I just wanna make my momma proud,
But I can barely get through the day..

The shadows are my home,
The dark is where I stay..
I just want to break down crying,
When its time to face my fears..

The shadows are my home,
The dark is where I stay..
Sometimes I wish I could be sober,
I just smoke myself numb to the pain..

The shadows are my home,
The dark is where I stay..
My heart can see the light,
But my mind is far away..
