You don't know who I am
Won't see what I've become
Why can't you just accept it?
Why aren't you willing to see?
The person that you want is not who I want to be

I Am Me
Midnight Cellar
This lovely tomb is only mine
A cave in which the tide resides
Treasures live and shine
Within its callus sides
My fingers trace its glittering veins
My face awash with silver light
In this place I shall remain
Ignorant of my plight
Shadow O & E
Original
I am dark
I see the sun
I hear voices
I feel the rain
I pretend to be invisible
I promise to be there
I worry about you
I hope for the future
I understand you
I am your shadow
Extended
I am dark as a moonless, starless sky
I see the shining sun
I am near you always
No matter what you think
Sometimes I walk behind you
And other times ahead
Many times I go unseen
Through moments of joy and happiness
Or those of pain and sorrow
I promise to always be there
I know your every thought
I hear every prayer you whisper
I feel your hurt, your sadness
I see your hidden fears, all your unshed tears
I hope for your future
I understand you
I am your ever present shadow
