Shadow Boxing -

Do you see me

Do you see what I’ve become

I’m not the same beast

I leave a scar on all I touch

You think you know me now

Is it better than I know myself

I know it hurts like hell

Admitting just how you’ve misjudged

All my life I’ve been told the same old

Don’t step out, don’t test the mould

We know your kind, yeah we know you

So much better than you know yourself

See, the ones that won’t engage me

Are the same trying to cage me

But I can’t sit still and I won’t be tame

When the lights go out

Better know your enemy

Because I’ve spent a lifetime shadowboxing with death

And we’ll dance with the devil 'til there’s no songs left

So do you see me

Do you see what I’ve become

I’m not the same beast, no

I leave a scar on all I touch

You think you know me now

Is it better than I know myself

I know it hurts like hell

Admitting just how you’ve misjudged

You don’t know me, you cannot own me

The path I’m on don’t fit the old me

I bear my soul as I keep evolving

And I chase this taste for blood

See, I learned real young, don’t seek no gold

Trust no fool and you won’t get sold

I never feared the dark

No, I just became it

When the lights go dead

You better pray you’re safe kid

Because I’ve spent a lifetime shadowboxing with death

And we’ll dance with the devil 'til there’s no songs left

I try

To keep my cool and not let this hate win

I find

This mask I wear can’t keep the darkness in

The world you know was born to fade

We’ll dance upon its grave

You don’t know me, you cannot hold me

You should have guessed that you can’t control me

I raise my soul like a private army and I steel myself for war

Because I leaned real young, when you walk through hell

The devil can’t buy what you won’t sell

So I took my fear, reshaped and aimed

Because when the night caves in

No one will save you

So we’ll dance with the devil 'til there’s no songs left

I try

To keep my cool and not let this hate win

I find

This mask I wear can’t keep the darkness in
